Key cleverness Hands up if you’re always losing your keys, or if you like to keep a collection of spare keys in a handy spot. This key holder is so easy to make; all you need are some Resene testpots and a piece of timber framing off-cut. The timber is 250mm long and 60mm deep with cuts made at 50mm centres. String your keys onto twine or leather, add a painted bead at the top and slot them into their own special place. The colours used here are Resene St Kilda, Resene Ming, Resene Green Mist, Resene Kalgoorie Sands and Resene Crail. The wall and two of the beads are in Resene Bone.

These ones are masked (use low- tack masking tape from your Resene ColorShop) and painted with Resene testpots in Resene Copper Fire metallic, Resene Paper Doll and Resene Prairie Sand.
