Cost: $2
Equipment
- Printer
Materials
- 2 Faux skeleton keys metal or plastic
- Cardstock
- Glitter fine
- Mod Podge any formula
- Ribbon or twine
- Clear acrylic spray sealer
- Santa tags large OR
- Santa tags small
Instructions
- Print the Santa tag using one of the two sizes in the materials list. Cut them out using scissors. and use a hole punch for the hole on top.
- Apply a thin, even layer of Mod Podge onto the top part of the key, both on the front and the back.
- Once you have evenly coated both sides, dip it into a container of fine glitter. Let it dry. After drying, add glitter to any missing spots on the key’s top.
- Seal your glittered key with an acrylic spray to reduce and prevent glitter fallout. Let it dry. Thread the key onto the tag to finish.
Notes
Step 1: I recommend using thicker paper like 40 lb. so that the tag is thicker, especially if you are gifting.
Step 2: I used gold to compliment the key’s color, but you can use a different color to make it more fun.
Step 4: Technically this is optional, because it's not as optional when you're going to keep the key and hang it as an ornament. You can also brush Mod Podge over the top of the glitter but it dulls it slightly (more so than the acrylic spray).
