I love finding unique objects while walking around, especially if I can turn them into awesome key holders, which is what we did with this piece of wood I found in front of a Brooklyn warehouse! Here are all the supplies we used- the Stencil1 Skeleton Keys 8-pack stencil, paint, tape, hooks, paper towels, hammer & nails, and images you want to paste on.
We wanted to go for a vintage/Paris theme so we stenciled the wood with acrylic paint with a ombré effect and decoupaged some beautiful images that fit our theme. To create the ombré effect paint the top half of the key with any color (we used a nice bright turquoise) and then use white to paint the bottom half of the key, merging both colors in the middle. Use tape to secure your stencil while painting. We painted three keys but you could have fun with the design. You could even try overlapping keys!
Next, cut out the images you want to paste onto the wood. Use a brush to apply the Paper Mod Podge to the back of the images. Apply it to the wood by lightly pressing down the image onto the surface. Once dry, coat the front of the image with Mod Podge as well.
Once the paint and Mod Podge is dry, decided where you want to place your hooks and screw them in. Make a small hole with a nail and hammer can make this step a little easier. Lastly, attach a hanger to the back of the wood so you can place the key holder on the wall. Now you have you own awesome custom key holder! Wahoo! Share pictures of what you make with us @stencil1
I sort of have a tin can obsession. I think they are a beautifully designed object. And as a container, there are so many re-uses for them. I especially like to paint them to give them some newness.
I used a basic paintbrush and various colors of Folk Art new Multi-surface paints for these cans. Two coats did the trick. Final use for them?
An urban herb garden for my window sill! Of course you can use them as pencil holders, vases, and more. What would you do with some colorful painted tin cans?
To make this herb garden you’ll need 4-6 clean tin cans, paint, paint brushes, soil and a variety of herb plants or seeds. Once you are finished decorating your cans replant different herbs (or seeds) into the tin cans. Have some fun incorporating the name of your herbs into your design! An optional step to make your herb garden last a little longer is to punch a few wholes at the bottom of the cans and add some pebbles before you add the soil. This will allow some water to drain out. If you follow this step, consider placing your garden on a small tray to catch the water.
