I am a collector of many things. From scrap paper to bottle caps...and even KEYS. I've been collecting these for awhile now and I've been going back and forth on what to do with them. I was inspired by my latest how-to where I updated my mirror to a white frame, which now hangs on a white wall. White on white is great. So I decided to try out the same concept with these keys.
supplies
-keys, of course!
-super glue
-spray paint
-a shadow box
how-to
1) find a safe place to spray paint your keys, lay down plastic, and get to sprayin'
2) if the background of your shadow box is not your desired color or pattern then paint it or apply the pattern. my favorite way to apply patterns to small objects such as the shadow box is just to simply glue down stationary paper. it's easy and fun. but fortunately for me my shadow box was already completely white. (remember you can paint the frame too)
3) arrange the keys in whichever order you choose. since i'm doing white on white i wanted to make mine tres chic and symmetrical. so i went with four rows and columns equally aligned.
4)after you've decided on an arrangement begin gluing your keys down.
5) assemble the shadow box and hang your creation on a wall that needs a little creative love.
*the glare in my apartment was terrible when I attempted to photograph my work so I had to place it where the least amount of obstruction took place. i actually hung this lovely shadowbox perpendicular to the wall where i placed my white mirror. love the white on white:)
