Key Necklace

I love looking at jewelry! Recently I bought several old keys of various shapes with the intention of doing this exact project to them- this is the key I have done so far.

First, I traced the key shape onto the surface of the design I wanted, and then cut it out. (Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge is a sanctuary for "big cats" that have been recovered from abusive situations or retired from active life, such as smuggled illegal pets and circuses. More info on that here.)

I used tacky glue to glue the image onto the key, making sure it was on there evenly so that the next step wouldn't be messed up by bumps.


Carefully pour Mod Podge Dimensional Magic over the image-side of the key.


I glued a small loop on the other side so that I can put the key on a chain, and then waited for it to dry.


And BAM! New necklace.
