Even though we have a chimney, I still like the idea of having a key for Santa to hang on the door knob. We have a video of our son when he was about 4 years old decorating the Christmas tree when he was talking about Santa's magic key. We had a fireplace back then too, but he didn't make the connection that Santa would be coming down our chimney.
I was cleaning out some drawers when I found old Christmas cards from last year. I have a hard time throwing out Christmas cards we have received from family and friends. I like to recycle them. I had some large decorative keys on a ring that I thought would be fun to use for this project and pretty red ribbon. I punched out tags from the old Christmas cards.
I punched holes, tied some knots and used some tape.
I made them each differently, according to the design on the card or the size of the key.
I enjoyed this fun little project, especially since I didn't have to run out and purchase anything!
Those are really cute Patty! I know I love it when I don't have to run out and buy something to complete a project:)
ReplyDeleteThese are adorable! You did such a fantastic job! I am always tempted to save my cards. Never have projects for them. This is great. Such a cute idea to have a key for Santa!
ReplyDeleteI love these!!

This is such a cute idea! I think Santa would be thrilled to know he has his own special key! :)

ReplyDeleteThanks for the great idea! Your's are really cute. ~ Maureen
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! You did such a nice job too! Well done! And have a nice Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteVery cute idea and a great way to recycle. As for my crocheted rocks, I do just make up the pattern as I go along. Much easier that way since my pattern reading skills aren't always the best. :) Best wishes, Tammy
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I have seen Santa's keys before, but never got around to making any. Know what you mean about the cards. I have a stack on the counter now, debating whether to pitch or keep.
ReplyDeletePatty, I love your tags/Santa's keys. You found a wonderful use for old Christmas cards, Patty. Have a nice Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteWhat a precious idea and super cute craft!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute idea. I've never heard of a Santa key before!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute idea. I wish my kids were still little so I could use that idea!
