Painting House Keys

What you'll need:
  • key(s)
  • acrylic paint
  • thin and medium paint brushes
  • sharpie (optional)
  • Spray sealant or top coat nail polish



When you begin, don't take the paper backing off new keys.  For old keys, obviously put down a piece of paper. I usually use bristol board.

If the paper backing is on, it's easy to paint the edges. You could double-sided-tape to a piece of bristol or poster board.

So, paint the key! (one base color- don't try to be intricate... yet)



It only take a couple minutes to dry. then you can go over it with your design.  I choose a squirrel and a bird.  They were pretty easy...  BUT *** if you mess up and need to start over, nail polish remover works like a charm***


Now we need to seal it. I used OPI's Rapid-Dry Top Coat, but next time, I'll spray it.

Super easy, rainy day, good for kids project!
