Santa’s Magic Key

Have y’all seen these?!  I was at the cutest little shop about a month ago and they were selling “Santa’s Magic Key”.  The price tag? $20!!!!  {Yeah.  Ummm…just incase you don’t know me well, I’m not a “pay full price” kind of person.  Like, not at all.  And if it’s something I think I can duplicate on my own, well then I’m all about it. } 

So I headed to Hobby Lobby & picked up some vintage style skeleton keys.  I found a set of 6 on a ring and they.were. PRESH.  AND, they were half off so I paid $6. {That’s like $1 a key!!!}  I googled “Santa’s Magic Key Poems” and there were about a gajillion that popped up, but this is the one I liked the best…

It’s the night before Christmas & we’re excited as can be. 

We’re leaving this out for you…it’s a very special key.

You can shimmy down the chimney, or tiptoe through the door.

Just use this key we left for you to find cookies, milk, & more!

I created a tag, found a fun font, & typed the poem onto the tag along with a picture of the cutest little vintage Santa.  I printed out the tag, cut it, and backed it onto a thick piece of textured cardstock.  Then I used my mod podge to seal it together {I really like the finish better than using a glue stick :)}  & used my distress ink pad to give it a vintage-y feel.

I punched a hole in the tag & strung a little ribbon through it & attached the key.  SO super easy and TOO cute {if you ask me ;)}.  The boys will EAT.THIS.UP!!!!!!!

 

 Santa’s Magic Key is all ready for him & we can’t wait for him to visit!!!

Total cost of this fun little project?!  A whopping $1!!!!!  The keys were about $1 a piece…I had the cardstock, ink pad, & ribbon on hand, so there was no cost there! I saved $19!!
