How cute is this? Sure this is a Valentine craft but you don't have to wait until February 14 to make this fun** computer keyboard DIY**; any lovely gift for your love given any time of the year is sweet. You can also make this before a long road trip with your family.
2. Wallet
/filters:quality(70)/content/lifestyle/2012/07/218_499x322.jpg)
Yes, you can reuse a computer keyboard and make a wallet. From the keyboard you dismantled, you will see a thin sheet of circuitry. That's what you will need to make this creative and cool wallet. You will also need clear packing tape for keeping the whole thing intact.
3. Rings
/filters:quality(70)/content/lifestyle/2012/07/317_300x166.jpg)
I'm sure you have seen keyboard rings before. If you want to make your own (for keeping or giving away), you will need only the keys and ring bases. Glue and enjoy!
4. Organizer

Your local craft store has cardboard boxes in various sizes. Get several that will be perfect for organizing your home office or craft room. Gather keys and then glue to the cardboard boxes. You will need to remove or flatten the underside of the keys first, of course.
Sunshine and blue skies bring positivity and joy and it's important for every woman to take full advantage of it. Even when stuck indoors, it's still possible to enjoy some good vibes. Check out these unique tips on how to make the most of the weather right at your home. Let's celebrate every beautiful day, no matter where we are.

This is probably one of the more popular ways to** reuse computer keyboards**. This is because these magnets look awesome cool and are incredibly easy to make. You simply attach magnets to the underside of the keys you plan to use. That's it, really.

This is a great way to upcycle old computer keyboards and give them a new life. Magnets can be used to attach keys to the underside of the keyboard, creating a unique and eye-catching design. The magnets can be customized with different colors and patterns, allowing you to create a unique look that reflects your personal style.

6. Lampshade
/filters:quality(70)/content/lifestyle/2012/07/618-560x447_560x447.jpg)
Isn't this lovely? Yes, this will need the circuit sheet under the keys as well. Other materials to gather are light source, metal tin, glue, packing tape, hole punch, and a screwdriver. Check out the link for the assembly.
7. Choker
/filters:quality(70)/content/lifestyle/2012/07/716_500x361.jpg)
After you make a keyboard ring, you can use some of the extra keys to make a necklace. You can even spell out words for this particular computer keyboard DIY. How about PANIC? Or LOVE? Or your name?
Tutorial
***
Creating a choker is a simple and fun way to upcycle those extra keys. Once you've selected your word or phrase, you'll need a durable string or a thin ribbon to thread the keys onto. Make sure to measure the length so that it fits snugly around your neck without being too tight. For a personal touch, alternate the keys with beads or charms to add texture and interest. Not only will you have a one-of-a-kind piece of jewelry, but you'll also carry a piece of tech history with you. Plus, it's a great conversation starter!
8. Frame
/filters:quality(70)/content/lifestyle/2012/07/817-560x373_560x373.jpg)
Making this is pretty much similar to creating the desk organizer. Get a plain frame and glue keys onto it. Methinks this will also work with photo frames made of cereal boxes.
9. Art
/filters:quality(70)/content/lifestyle/2012/07/914_479x355.jpg)
You can use keys to make art in the vein of typography or text style. This "You Are My Type" one is a great example. Cute, right?
10. Zen Garden
/filters:quality(70)/content/lifestyle/2012/07/1013-560x371_560x371.jpg)
This is probably my favorite among these computer keyboard DIYs. I love that the keys were also used to make the miniature sand rake. Very clever.

Paris: Awesome ideas! I like to use the keys to decorate my binder for school! And if you have a few keyboards that have built up, I used them to ask my crush out with a note made out of them(:
