| Decoupaged Key Holders |
Hi friends, every year my daughter and I make Teacher's day gifts for my daughter's teachers. Over the years we have gifted handmade photo-frames, pen-stands, tea light holders, note pad holders, post it note holders etc.
This year I was short on time and ideas seemed to elude me! And we had to make 14 gifts so we chose a simple project - decoupaged Key Holders.

Decoupaged Key Holders

They were simple but turned out beautiful . It was time consuming but relaxing too to churn out these cute House shaped key holders!! And 2 pairs of hands are definitely faster as my kiddo helped in all the painting and coating!

The beautiful houses got several layers of Mod Podge and 2 final coats of a sealer so that they can even be wiped with a wet cloth

I first debated making handmade flowers to add to the design but finally decided that " less is more" is better for a functional project!

My daughter gifted them to her Teachers and yes I think the teacher's loved them!

Dear Dr Sonia
ReplyDeleteAs always they are lovely and cute and sure your dughter is a great crafter too. I wonder wht what you made them is it chip board or hardboard and can a cuttlebug handle chip board. I made the accordian style purse and it turned out great. I am going to make a few as birthday gifts.Thank you my Guru. I also wonder if i could put a link to your page as yours are greater.Love and hugs
Oh you are so sweet Ms Surekha...you can of course put a link to my blog. And we didnt make the base...I picked the base from a lovely crafter who sells MDF bases here in Bangalore
DeleteThey are wonderful !! There is not doubt the teachers will cherish them and specially the love and efforts in making them.
