I made these as one of my year long project to make something new every week.
It is a very simple project.
1. Prise keys off keyboard.

3. Glue the key to some cuffink blanks (lots on ebay)

Materials

Old computer keyboard keys, cufflink findings

What was your inspiration?

What to do with an old computer keyboard that no one wanted. Mycurrent keyboard is black with white lettering - these would make very nice cufflinks. I have my eye on the 'page up' page down' keys. Would I miss them?

What are you most proud of?

An unusual make that people seem to like

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Be careful with the hacksaw!
