Mason Jar Key Holder Part 1

How I wanted a place for our keys when we came home because Brian kept putting his on the kitchen table and it was ruining my decor.  I previously kept mine in my purse but would constantly get irritated when I couldn't find them (I tend to always have rather large purses...). Anyway, through www.StumbleUpon.com I found this awesome idea and got to it right away.  It's a big project so I am going to do it in two staged.  Here is Part 1.

SUPPLIES:

• A Wooden board
• Grey Spray Paint
• A Tea Light Candle
• Off White Latex Paint 
• A Paint Brush
• Sandpaper

DIRECTIONS:

1) Take your board and spray paint it grey.  


2) When it dries take the candle and rub the wax on the corners and in random spots on the board.  This is actually a really cool painting technique.  On top of the grey spray paint you are going to paint a coat of the latex paint.  Then after it dries you are going to sand it in the places where you rubbed off the wax from the candle.  It makes a really cool antique look because the grey paint shines through slightly and it looks like worn wood.  


3) After the spray paint dried and you have rubbed off the wax onto the board in the places you like, paint it with a coat of latex paint.


4) When the paint dries lightly sand the board focusing on the areas that you waxed.  


Here is what it should look similar to...

That's Part 1! Part 2 to come!
