A painted house number and key display in a black frame.
Last week on Facebook, we promised to show you how to create a painted house number and key display like the one we posted. Well, here it is in six easy steps!

What You’ll Need:
Cardstock
Number stencil
BEHR® paint (sample size or leftover gallon). We used Blue Clay T15-16
Small roller brush and mini roller tray
Shadow box frame
Door key
Paper towels
Ribbon or yarn
Long pearlized sewing pins
Scissors

Steps:

1 Pour paint in drip pan. Prep roller brush with a little bit of water and then saturate with paint. Set aside.

2 Layout stencil on cardstock. Use roller brush and carefully roll paint over the number stencil.
Painted numbers on the clean page being revealed after removing the stencil.
3 Carefully peel off stencil to reveal the painted number on the clean page. Repeat for each number.

4 Once dry, cut out each number and pin to shadow box with pearlized sewing pins.

5 Use the roller brush to cover the key in paint, on one side only. Set aside and let dry.

6 Once the key is dry, loop the ribbon or yarn through keyholes and tie in a bow, creating a two-inch loop.

I hope you had as much fun creating this project as we did!

Colorfully Yours,
