{Craft} Shabby Chic Key Decor

Want to make a simple decoration,
That costs less than $4...
And less than 20 minutes to make?

This Shabby Chic Framed Key works great for 
Valentine's Day
Easter
& Spring decor.

I made it in time for Valentine's Day.
I guess I could say it is the key to my heart, but I painted one of those for Matt last year.


{Supplies}
1- Off White IKEA Frame- $1.99
1- Brass Skeleton Key- Michael's $.75 with coupon
1- 1x36 in Coordinating Tulle Strip
1- 4x6 Piece of Scrapbook Paper  

{Directions}
 Take the back off of the frame
Remove the glass
Place scrapbook paper in the frame, and place the back back on
Fold tulle in half, and tie a slip know with it on the wall hanging bracket
Flip the tulle to the front of the frame, slip the key on, and tie a bow
Trim the tulle until symmetrical once you have the key hanging to desired length
Display and enjoy this Shabby Chic little piece of decor.


Not bad for $3 and 20 minutes of nap time.
I started and finished this project during the kids' Saturday nap after working overtime. 
I was still able to take a nap at the same time as them... 
Now that's what I call speed crafting with high impact:)
