Chess Board Key Holder & Organiser by anluwagi291110
Featured
This was a broken down chess board with loose chess pieces that my 10-year-old son has ignored for the last 2 years. Being the hoarder that I am, I refuse to throw things away with the intention of recycling or creating something new out of them. So with this ignored toy, I came up with an idea of turning it into an organiser, using the remaining chess pieces as key holders.

The make of a chess board is actually quite versatile as you can also use it as a compartment for medicine, mail, tools and whatnot depending on the size of the chessboard.

Great project idea. The first picture is good, but I think it could be slightly better.

I recommend adding a picture from a slight angle with the board closed, should show off the keys are hanging off the chess pieces nicely.

This is awesome!!!1 I would probably paint the chess board another color to match with my furniture. :) Great thinking!

this is a great idea for those who have kids and dont know what to do with their toys. as a parent myself, it's a shame to throw toys away. this is a fabulous and practical way, so hold on to that junk!!! =)
