Do it Yourself Key Painting

Having my own store means I get to still be creative every day.  I love to re-purpose old items and I'll paint anything that will stand still.  Recently, I saw on Pinterest (my new obsession) that you can use nail polish to paint keys so I was inspired to try it on my Ms. Mulligan's door keys.  Here's what I did...

First, I chose the base color I wanted to use on each key and painted two coats to each side.  Make sure the polish is completely dry before turning it over to the other side.


Next, I added black stripes using a nail art polish with a fine tip brush.


It was really easy, and I can see this being done in any color, pattern or design you want.  Give it a try - I plan to do all of my keys!
