Idiosyncratic Style

Who holds the key to your heart? Maybe it’s your one true love, but what about all the other great loves of your life? Your parents, siblings, best friends, children… chances are there are a number of people who have claimed a little piece of your heart. This Valentine’s Day celebrate ALL the people you adore with a beautiful token of affection; a key to your heart.

- Use an old house key, interesting vintage key or decorativekey from a craft store
- How you decorate it is up to you, be inspired by the muse you are creating it for
- Try paints, textured paints, gems, studs, fabrics, scraps of paper, feathers….
- Let the creativity flow, use anything reflective of your relationship with each one
- You can give the key as a trinket or incoporate it into an item the recipient can appreciate - necklace, keychain, bracelet, earrings, a pin, cuff links…

Keys I made inspired by all the people I love...

Wrap the key thoughtfully, attach a little note and send the package in the mail, no matter how close they are. The many loves of your life are sure to be delighted.
