Teacher's Key Ring


To see a larger view click here
This cute key ring is a great gift for your child's teacher. Makes an ideal Valentine gift considering its heart shape. This can be made in different shapes too, and would also be great for Teacher Appreciation Week or a birthday present! Alternatively, you can skip the key ring step and glue a magnet on the back to display on her filing cabinet.

Parental supervision is recommended

You will need

Wood Heart 3"x1/4"
Screw Eye-Brass
Key Ring-Brass
Black Painty Pen
White Permanent Pen
Clear Acrylic Matte Sealer

Paints:
- Country Red
- Cadmium Yellow
- White
- Black



If you make this project we'd love to see it! Just send your photos and comments to the editor and it may get published on this page!

What you do

Base outer area of heart with Country Red. Base the center with black. Outline the center with White. Use Black pen to write 123's and ABC's in outer edge. Add dots of Yellow between 123's and ABC's. Write your own saying in center area.

When all painting is dry, spray with a clear acrylic matte sealer.

Make starter hole in top of heart. Screw in screw eye. Put on split key ring.

Note: If you decide you would rather make a magnet or a pin, simply eliminate the last step and glue on a magnet or pin instead.
