PROJECT: Framed Keys

I wish I could take credit for this idea, but it comes by way of my friend, Liz. I love old keys, and went nuts when I spotted a set of framed keys that she'd put together, so I decided to make one for myself.
The project just couldn't be easier! Take a piece of cardboard fitted to the back of a photo frame and cover it with the paper or fabric of your choice.

I used a piece of linen and some lace accents. Then place your covered cardboard in the frame behind the glass.
Place your old keys on top of the glass until you have a pleasing arrangement. When you're happy with the appearance, use a strong, clear glue to adhere the keys to the glass. I like Goop.
Voila! A new piece of art work...cheap, easy and fun!

Until next time,

  7. I love your blog! Your keys are beautiful! I checked out your post on your decoupaged Parisian chair, and it is just gorgeous! It's one of the neatest ideas that I've seen in awhile! Sounds very labor intensive, but also a great way to use up lots of scrapbooking supplies :) I am your newest follower!

  9. Great idea! I'm always surprised at how many keys everyone finds. We must throw them away here in Phoenix. NEVER see keys! That would fit in your office decor really well!!!:)
