When we first moved in this house about 4 months ago, Sam put a nail in the wall to hang keys on. That nail has been botherin me ever since. So I picked up this little key hanger from Wally World the other day. Bubba informed me that Daddy could make it, but I told him I'd rather pay $5 for it now than wait 6 months to get it! So anyway, I knew I wanted to pretty it up with some of my favorite paper from Stampin' Up! Can you guess what paper I went with?
First I used my Always Artichoke marker to color all the edges, so that if you looked from the side, it wouldn't be plain wood. Then I traced the shape into my paper, then cut it out and used Mod Podge to attach. I then used my nail file to get all the edges just right. Then I sponged some Always Artichoke on the edges and applied another coat of Mod Podge on top.
I dug out my Pretties Kit and applied some halfback pearls along the bottom and tied Very Vanilla Ribbon on each hook. It still looked like it was missing something, so I decorated a hat pin and stuck that through the ribbon.
It really looks alot better than just a nail in the wall, don't you think? And yes, I shoved everything that was on the counter over to the side so you can't see all my mess!
