How to Start a Key Chain Collection

Key chains can help you find your keys in the morning or as you dig through a purse or pocket. They can be used to showcase things that you believe in or enjoy. Unfortunately, carrying more than one key chain can make your keys cumbersome. The solution is to start a key chain collection.

Difficulty:

Easy

Instructions

1. Decide on a theme for your key chain collection. You can collect key chains as an economic way to showcase places you have traveled, or you might collect key chains that have a specific item on them like frogs. Whatever you choose, a theme will help you manage your collection.

2. Select key chains that fit your theme. Begin with five key chains to start your collection. Choose these from key chains you already have or buy new key chains to start the collection.

3. Know the stories. Each key chain you collect should have a story. It does not have to be an elaborate story, but you will want to associate a memory with each key chain. This adds personal value to the collection.

4. Display your collection. Some people choose to hang their key chain collection from the rearview mirror. Others use key chains as Christmas ornaments. Pick a place where you can show off your key chains.

5. Preserve your collection. Keep your key chains in good condition. Limit how much traveling your key chains do, and keep them out of the reach of children and pets.
