It’s Sarah again. Thanks to my sis Ellen for allowing me to guest post again! I still love to create new things from old things, so when I saw this cute keychain tutorial here, I knew that I had to make some. While browsing a local thrift shop, I ran across these blocks for $1. They were screaming “pick me, pick me!” Funny how that happens when you have a project in mind, and the supplies you need just seem to talk to you. :c) Gotta love those thrift shops for inspiring creativity!
I covered the blocks with Mod Podge and attached an eye screw in the end of each block for the key ring. So, here are my creations!
Maps, vintage music, dictionary pages, scrapbook paper, fabric… Oh, the possibilities are endless!
Thanks, Ellen, for letting me visit your blog again. Love ya!

Here is the keychain Sarah gave to me!
Linking to these great parties!

So cool! Ha, my girls just got a set of Jenga's for Christmas. I'll be waiting for them to get sick of theirs, but until then I'll keep my eyes peeled at the thrift store!
Happy 2012!
How Fun! I see old Jenga games at the thrift store all the time of like $1. I would love for you to link up at my party going on right now!

What a brilliant idea! I can never find a key chain that seems right for me, but this would be so easy to personalize. Yours look great!
So CLEVER!!! I learn so much from blogs! Thanks for sharing. Visiting from Positively Splendid!
Great gift idea! Think I'll be on the lookout for some little blocks like that. I knew this blog was meant for me to look at as soon as I saw yours and your sister's names. My name is Ellen and my daughter's name is Sarah. LOL And look what happened; a super idea to make up soon!
What a great idea! I bet they stop you losing your keys and great if you have some blocks missing from a set!
Very cute, I will be on the prowl for Jenga games!
Neato!! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the nice comments!
How cool! What a great way to use the Jenga pieces!
What a smart idea! I even just like the look of the wooden pieces with paper on them. You could still use them to play Jenga ... if you don't mind loud messy games~ Thanks for linking up at Etcetorize!
We just got jenga for Christmas! Love this idea!
Hi Sarah, you're as creative as Ellen. Such a cool idea to do with jenga. Will have a go.
So Cute! My 3 year old loves to play jenga with me, but really we just build towers and knock them down :)
Love it!! I have to do this!!
Thanks for the inspiration!

This is so cute, especially if your jenga game is missing pieces already! Genius
This is genius! I have half a game hanging around the house.
Thanks for the idea!

oooh, I haven't thought about Jenga in a long time! Thanks for the reminder -- cute keychains!
Really cute idea!
I found Jenga in my MIL game closet a few months back and I'm not a fan so I might just have to make a LOT of keychains! I'm guessing the eye screws are available at craft stores?
These are A-MAZ-ZING! love it!
This is so crazy stinkin' cute!
I WILL be featuring this!
Tell your sis, GREAT JOB!
