I thought I'd brighten this gloomy day with this quick post about these super cute multi-coloured play keys.
Do you have a ton of odd keys laying in your junk drawer that you don't know what they open?
And do you have young kids who love to steel your actual keys to play with and usually end up setting your car alarm off or just loosing your keys all together... (I have been through this all to many times).
Well, I propose a solution that requires no expense and little work.
I was inspired about this idea from a pin on Pinterest. This example used nail polish in various coloures to colour code their existing keys. Also a geniuses idea!
So I thought why not paint the entire body of a key I don't need and make some fun play keys for my kids.
So that's what I did. I picked two set of complimenting nail polish colours (one boy version and one girl version) and I applied three coats on each side of each key.
And voila! A set of colourful keys for both my son and daughter.
Two tips:
- use wax paper to set the keys on while painting (I used plain paper the first time and it stuck to the nail polish and was a pain to get off)
- once the nail polish is dry you can scrap off any access to ensure the edges are smooth
Also I made these for my kids whom are old enough not to put them in their mouth. I am not sure how the nail polish will stand up or if it would chip.
And that's that! Hope you enjoyed this bright little post and I'm sure if you make these for your kids, they'll love them.
Be inspired,
