Monday Made It & Really Good Stuff Finalist!!

I am linking up with my sweet friend Tara from 4th Grade Frolics for her Monday Made It!!

I am constantly losing my keys at school! I don't have one set place to put them, so they always wind up everywhere! On my desk, on the counter, in my purse, on the back table... you get the picture! All year I have been wanting to designate a specific spot to hang my keys, and now, with 2 1/2 days of school left, I finally have it!

There is a spot right next to my door that is the perfect place!
To create my key hook I used a white letter I bought from Michaels.
(I forgot to take a "before" picture, but just picture the M white and without glitter!)
Then I covered it with Modge Podge and sprinkled Martha Stewart glitter on top.



I used the pink on the bottom, 4th over from the right! 
I love, love, LOVE glitter and this set is amazing! I love all the bright colors!
