Key

April 15, 2012 By Spoonful of Sugar - 12 Comments

Suddenly she came upon a little three-legged table, all made of solid glass; there was nothing on it except a tiny golden key, and Alice’s first thought was that it might belong to one of the doors of the hall; but, alas! either the locks were too large, or the key was too small, but at any rate it would not open any of them. However, on the second time round, she came upon a low curtain she had not noticed before, and behind it was a little door about fifteen inches high: she tried the little golden key in the lock, and to her great delight it fitted!
Alice in Wonderland, Lewis Carroll


I have always loved Keys. Keys can be used in decorating is so many ways.

I decorated some old wine bottles with keys cut from outdoor vinyl. I found the skeleton key images at svg cuts and cut them using my digital cutting machine.

We can now have pretty water bottles on the table.

For more ideas on how keys/images of keys can be used in craft and decorating projects, check out our Keys Board over on Pinterest.
