Just wondering if anyone has any ideas about repurposing piano keys?

I have a set of plastic keys...thinking of using them for a sundial like clock?
Suggested Project Book
I knew someone who painted flowers on them and framed them
Hi C, I made a dining table that will seat at least 6 adults from my set of keys. If you like this idea, and have any questions, please feel free to ask! :)
They would make a really cool wind chime or mobile. Would be a perfect gift for a music lover. You could decoupage sheet music to a thin board and string them from that.

Hang them from a lamp shade or a "chime" would be cute.
Sorry, I didn't see the "plastic" part of your description. However, you could still make a side table using them. Depending how big they are, you could use a wood spool. Paint the spool or cover with fabric if desired, then hot glue your keys to the the wood then cover with a piece of glass. Here's a project I did, using a clock, but it's the same principle. I also put wheels on the bottom.
Could I possibly purchase one? I want to replace one damaged key on my piano. I am over 70 and need an easy fix to my damaged ivory key. My ex-sister-in-law burned a hole in it about sixty years ago and we did not have money to fix it.
Piano keys in particular are an especially popular, highly recognizable elements that work well as ornaments, miniature art pieces and even house key racks.
