I have a ton of house and mailbox keys since i work at an apartment community, the locks are changed after every move out. They aren’t old, just regular ol’ keys. I also have a ton of plastic bottle caps. Anyone interested in them, i live in texas. My email is erin_watts731@yahoo.com

Tom,
Sorry, I live overseas, but if you didn’t find anyone interested in your corks, pending quantity cost and shipping, I would be very interesting. I work in a low income school and I am always on the lookout for possible craft items, or items I can make and sell with some of the proceeds going to chairity.
Thanking you in advance. Please respond soon.
Gloria

I am also an artist/crafter who uses old keys in my work. I am in USA but am often in Ireland with family. If you haven’t already sent your keys to Thomas, I would be grateful for any you may have left.
Anyone else in UK/Ireland with extra or old keys you can email for my address in Ireland or USA.
Thanks

Patsy – are you still wanting old keys? And does anyone want a few bags of old wine corks? I live in Brisbane, Australia, so I guess I’m hoping to find possible recipients who aren’t overseas!

Thanks – Tom. twmacmahon@gmail.com

Patsy,

I would like to send you some of my old house and other keys. I’d love to have them incorporated in art. Where can I send them?

Hi Patsy, I hoard all kinds. I have a box of keys somewhere and a largish bag of plastic bottle tops. Jewellery bits too and probably more besides you could use. I normally off-load to my arty sister, but she draws the line! (Hardy ha!)

Please message me back if you are still doing great things with all our would-be crap! Dee

You can also get keys from hardware stores, home improvement stores and anywhere they make keys. I went into a hardware store and they gave me a bucket full! However i use them for projects with projects showing people how they can Repurpose anything!

Keys make a great peice of home decor. Take a 12×12 frame, go to a craft store and pick out a sheet of 12×12 paper that matches your house. Than glue or tack the keys to a peice of paper that has been glued to cardboard or cardstock. Put the paper in the frame and close it. hang it on your wall and admire your splended yet easy work!!!!

I have been using unused keys into beautiful wind chimes. Anyone could try that, but I would also be very grateful to anyone that would be able to send me their no-longer-needed keys. I live in Arizona and can reimburse for postage. Email me at bayfeld@msn.com. Thanks! ~Karen~

If anyone would like to send me anything, I’d be very appreciative :) Contact @ flerious@gmail.com.

They’ve recently closed to local dump to the public, so it’s a bit hard for me to get a hold of interesting items anymore.

paint the keys with nail polish and put it on a chain it could be a cute necklace for you or a girl that you know and it is super cute
