diy {jenga keychain}

A while back ago I purchased a Jenga wood block game on sale for just $3.99. I thought to myself, "I'm sure there's something cool I could make with all these wooden blocks..." So I brought them home and began to think of a way to use them and this is what I came up with, Jenga keychains! These make great gifts and are sure to liven up any old set of keys. Going on a trip this summer? Save a map from your vacation and make your own souvenir keychains with your kids.

Here's what you'll need:
-wooden block
-decorative paper (scrapbook page, map, sheet music, pretty wrapping paper, pages of a book, ect...)
-screw eye
-key ring
-round nose pliers
-mod podge
-brush
-pencil
-scissors

 Use the pliers to screw the screw eye into the top of the block.

Trace the sides of the block on to the paper and cut them out. I cut mine slightly smaller so that I could have a nice wooden border around each paper.

Apply a thin layer of Mod Podge to the back of each paper and place them on the Jenga block. Make sure to smooth out the paper to prevent air bubbles.

Allow a few minutes to dry completely and then apply a thin layer of Mod Podge around all the sides. It will go on white but dies clear and provodes a protective seal.

 Now just attach the key ring, throw on a few keys and admire your lovely new keychain!

 I made this one from a map that we used when we went to Yosemite last summer

 So many possibilities... What are you going to put on yours?
