{Guest Post: Mary from Sweet Little Bluebird} DIY Framed Key Charms

Hi Everyone,

I'm so excited and honored to be Guest Posting here today!   
Thank you so much, Kristi, for the invite and warm welcome!

I'm Mary from the blog, Sweet Little Bluebird, where I love to share recipes,
easy crafts, DIY decor, tips and fun things I stumble upon in life and online.  
I'm married to my college sweetheart and we have two fun girls.   


Blogging has become my creative outlet and also a way to stay connected 
with family and friends, near and far.  One of the biggest bonuses from
 blogging is I have met and made the most amazing friends - creative, 
talented, thoughtful and supportive.  I've only been blogging for 10 short
 months. had no idea what I was missing out on.  I'm so thrilled to be part of 
this fun blogging adventure with so many wonderful people!

Okay, on with my Guest Post...

DIY FRAMED KEY CHARMS 

Today I am sharing a quick and easy way to frame keys.  
So simple.  So sweet.  My kind of craft!

If you don't have your own vintage keys, like me, that's okay,
you can buy Key Jewelry Charms, like the ones framed below!  



All the materials were purchased at Hobby Lobby on sale.
I removed the glass from all the frames and stored them
for safe keeping.

Each finished piece cost under $7 to make.  Happy dance!


This is all you need to make the Framed Keys:

For this key frame below, I used a little hot glue to place it on the matte.
The matte is scrapbook paper I had on hand.  Fun fabric would also work great, 
giving you lots of texture.

For the next two Key Frames, I twisted the jewelry wire, 
folded and tucked them on top of the mattes.  
Again, I used scrapbook paper for the matting.

So easy!


This last one, I used a Key and Heart charm together... 
twisting and tucking the wires up top.

I hope you enjoyed my quick and easy craft!
Thank you again, Kristi, for inviting me over...it was so much fun!

Cheers ~ Mary
