Keys To Peace, Love And . . .

The keys to peace, love, and _____.  How would you fill in the blank?  Think about that - I have my answer.

These are key fobs for those of you like me who constantly lose their keys.

I swear I have to put them right on top of my pocketbook each time I come in the house or they go missing for days.




One night while playing around with some of my torn cotton ribbons, I found one of my sets of keys in my work box.  (Yes, there are several!) How they got there, I do not know.



Since I had some lengths of ribbon just sitting there, I picked up a piece and tied it on the keyring.  PRESTO!  A light bulb lit up over my head.  (The old incandescent one.)  Why not make key fobs?

Well, you know me and my extensive collections of everything under the sun.  I have hundreds of keys and key blanks.  I took a handful out to the painting screens and using Rust-Oleum spray paint in Sweet Pea and Heirloom White, I painted the keys front and back.

On the white keys, I got out an all-over curlicue stamp and permanent black ink and just stamped away.  I left the pink ones pink because everyone knows you are always pretty in pink.

Of course, keys need key tags.  Yes, I had those in my stash, too.

Remember my word is LESS this year.  I am trying to use up Horror Monster, the affectionate name for my craft supply stash.

Out came the letter stamps.  I stamped PEACE on one side and LOVE on the other after painting the tag a sage green.

 I attached pink calico ribbons to the black and white keys.













 





Then tied on the key tags with the ribbon.

PEACE received a star.  LOVE received an asterisk.  There is always some extra something attached to LOVE.  Right?

On the pink keys I attached the key tag to the key and then tied the ribbon (turquoise calico this time).  This was much better, but I was not going to untie all the pink ribbons to change the other set of keys.

So, the key to peace, love, and <blank>.  How do you fill it in?  The easiest answer would be the old standard "rock-n-roll".

Or you might want to go with "charity".

Or "family".

Or "faith".

You be the judge.







As for me, I am going with peace, love, and happiness.  Because I am truly happy I can now find my keys!

Peace out, you 60's babes!

See y'all!
