Don't throw those old keys away. Add a few coats of Rust-Oleum Glitter spray paint and glue them together to create a unique snowflake ornament that can hang just about anywhere. 

Step 1
Make sure your keys are clean and dry.

Step 2
Arrange and adhere them to a metal washer with Testors Metal & Wood Cement and let the adhesive dry for about 20 minutes. 

Step 3
Spray Rust-Oleum® Stops Rust® Universal Bonding Primer on the keys, following the directions on the can. Spray 2 or more light coats for best results. Dries to the touch in 30 minutes and dries to handle in 1 hour.

Step 4
Apply Rust-Oleum Glitter spray paint, following the directions on the can. Two to three coats may be necessary for full coverage. Dries to touch in 20 minutes, to handle in 1 hour, and fully dry in 24 hours. Recoat at any time.

Step 5
Spray Rust-Oleum Glitter on some or all of the keys, adding your personal touch.

Step 6
Add a coat of Rust-Oleum Glitter Clear Sealer and let it dry for approximately 1 hour.     

Step 7
Once the sealer is dry, tie on a ribbon or fishing line to hang your key snowflake ornament on your Christmas tree, in a window or on a fireplace mantel.
