What You Will Need

Instructions

  • Paint all sides and surfaces of the key white with craft paint. Paint one side and allow it to dry before flipping and painting the other side.
    Allow the entire key to dry completely before continuing.
  • Decoupage to the front and sprinkle on a good amount of glitter. Shake off any excess and allow the key to dry completely before moving on.
  • Next, attach glitter sticker letters to spell out ‘Santa’s key’. Because the glitter is chunky, you may need to use glue to attach the letters securely.
  • Measure and mix your resin according to the package directions. Take care with the mixing because it is the most important part of the process.
    Pro Tip: Closely follow all safety precautions when working with this product.
  • I highly recommend covering your work surface in disposable paper to protect it. Then use extra measuring cups to lift the key up away from the work surface.
    Pour on the finish until the entire front of the key is covered without spilling over the sides.
  • Leave the key level and untouched for 24 hours to allow curing. Add a ribbon to the top so you can hang it. Your cute Santa key will be ready to hang on your front door this year for the holidays!
