Key to My Heart Mini Frame

This was a fun quick craft, and it just goes to show that a labor of love doesn’t have to be decades – or even hours – in the making. My son loves this little key in a frame. He’s at that age where keys are a “big deal” and he loves all things key and lock related. Which results in plenty of locked doors that shouldn’t be. But, that is a story for another day… actually, more like several more stories while we share a bottle of wine!

If you want to take a few minutes to share your own “key to my heart” sentiment… here’s how:

I started off with simple supplies, paint & paintbrush, frame, keys from the scrapbook section of the craft store, and some scrapbook paper for my heart and background.

I brushed some silver paint over the key, and let it dry (just a couple minutes), and came back and gave it a second coat.

While the key was drying, I took apart my frame, and traced the insert that came in the frame on my background paper, then cut it out.

On the scrapbook paper for the heart, I drew the rough shape of a heart on the back of the paper, and then tore around it.

Using the mostly-dry paintbrush with the silver paint, I painted some silver on the scrapbook heart.

I attached the heart onto the background paper, popped the heart in the frame, and then glued the now-silver key right onto the glass.

Quick, easy, done… and heartfelt!

Until Next Time!
