How to Make a Working Wind-up Key Updated Version! : DIY

[@ayanoaishi7434]

I'm gonna be a Wind-Up Doll for Halloween and this helps a lot! Instead of a toy, though, I used a mini music box's machine. It worked just as fine, and it makes the clicking noise when you wind up the key! :D Thank you so much anyway!♡

You're welcome! I'm glad my tutorial could help! :D Feel free to share your finished costume on instagram and/or twitter with #chezlinDIY if you want! :) I'd love to see how it turns out!!

[@captainnyceguy]

Its really heplful!!! But uhhhh one question how can you keep the key turning and not stop?

[@KaidasKingdom]

I love the way you did this! I would have never thought to make it with a real toy. But I do have an issue. I need it to be MUCH bigger. Do you have any suggestions? I was thinking about using a ratchet (tool or musical) and I'm ok with it not spinning automatically. I just want it to make a loud sound when you spin it. But how would I make it with out it drooping?

[@eliiking9006]

This is wierd cuz I was just thinking about being a teddy bear for holloween. Like a ripped up teddy bear with ripped teddy bears stuck on to it. And I wanted a wind up key in the back. And this is the first thing that shows up when I opened KZbin. This is lit. I love it

[@chezlin]

Thanks! I'm glad you'll be able to find this video useful! :D Good luck with your costume!

[@bunnykawaii]

happy anniversary

[@chezlin]

+Lucy Sun Thank you!! :D It feels like it's gone by so fast~

[@Soulful_Chaos]

Very cool! Nice work.

[@BlackDahliaNightmares]

Will it make a fairly loud sound? I'm trying to make this for a performance of The Doll Song from Tales of Hoffman in a very small makeshift black box theater. I just need to make sure it can be heard when I'm being wound up or it'll kinda destroy the magic lol

[@bethseiter761]

Do you still have the template for they key? The link isn't working. Thanks!!!

[@romeowandrainbow1040]

Do you sell these ? If so can I contact you please and if so how ?

[@nathanalaneller]

Can you adapt the gearbox to work on an electric battery powered hobby motor?

+MAHEK Mehta Thanks! :)

[@caeleychia8460]

~Happy anniversary~ Ps. You can totaly spray paint foam without it disolving, just as long as you coat it with wood glue, pva or gesso :3

[@chezlin]

+Caeley Chia Thank you! :) Yes, that's true, you can totally spray paint it as long as you seal the foam. I guess I just didn't mention that because it's just easier to paint with craft paint, haha.

[@naomipiehl9130]

The template link isn't working?

[@hiba]

wOW this is cool!

[@chezlin]

+Hiba Sharafuddin Thank you!! :D

[@KaliqueClawthorne]

Absolute perfect :) I want to make as a winter-cosplay Lili from Tabaluga and Lili (A german kids-musical / book / story - series from three fabulous artists) And because she is made out of ice as beautiful dancing daughter from the ice king (and snowman) Arktos she got a key on her back and I search about an hour for a tutorial for a workind one without much weight or much money I have to spend.... So :) Thanks for this tutorial.

[@MsAdventure14]

Btw, if people want the key to be higher and hidden, They could take thick elastic or bra (depending in gender) And place it behind the bra, poking a hole for the wind up mech and then through the shirt, placing the key on from the outside!

[@chezlin]

That's a great idea!! Thanks for the tip! :D

[@MsAdventure14]

No problem!! Just a thought CX

[@roseannlattanzi2241]

Tick Tock jujhujjkk

[@madisongreen7975]

This isnt going to ruin my bra or shirt, right?

[@laurengresk2643]

what size Balsa rod should I use? What diameter???

[@chezlin]

I believe the size I used for this one was 1/2"

[@discoqueenmom]

i tried this and failed , couldnt get the mech to work maybe im tech challanged , when hot glueing the mech i ruinned the mech and wouldn't wind up anymore. but love this idea etc.

[@tinag1460]

I can't access the template

[@Veronica-sw5wb]

where can i get the template

[@chezlin]

The template is in the videos description box, but here's a link straight to it: chezlin.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/windupkeyTEMPLATE.pdf -It should be accessible, but let me know if there are any problems!
