House keys in Clay and Paint

I have so many house keys because we changed all the locks I had to vamp them up.  I haven't finished all of them yet but I have some (horrible) photos of the ones I have done so far.

 
My Mom is a seamstress so I whipped together this sewing themed house key.
 

 
Sorry again about this photo but if you hadn't already guessed this is Mike and Sully from Monsters Inc.  I used nail polish and acrylic paint.  The nail polish is nice because if it can last on your nails with high shine for awhile the key paint will last a bit.  (I am going to have to redo them when the paint starts to chip)

 

I hope to see you Sunday. Thanks for stopping by.

Decorative Boxes

 

 

I used shelf paper from the Dollar Tree, cut it to size and then when everything was covered I put a folded layer of duck tape along the lid trim and the top of the box.  Done and done and it looks so cute stacked in the closet vs. ugly boxes or really expensive decorative boxes.  Great money saver especially since the boxes were free.  Mix it up, do strips of different patterned paper and or extra layers of tape.  Have fun with it!

 

Thanks for stopping by, come by Wednesday and see what's new.
