escort cards help!

hmmsarcasm · March 2010

let me see if i can explain this-here is a picture of what i would like to do for our escort cards:

if you can't tell they are victorian keys-or thats what I would like--the problem: i'm cheap-cant seem to find a batch of keys for a good price--i want to make my own keys--not in metal of course but i'd get a key mold and then do it out of plastic or plaster or something and then i can spray paint them to look old etc--

do any of you have any experience doing this or have any idea how i would do this?? or can point me in the right direction??

or is it lame?? helllpppp!

TIA!!!

Alexis,
Have you tried etsy? That would be my first thought on a best bet.

I was also going to suggest Etsy also consider flea markets. You can find all kinds of crap there if you're willing to spend the time.

Oooo I like it Alexis ! In my spare time at work ill do some research for ya :-) PS... we need to go dancing again hehe

Look up "victorian skeleton keys" on ebay... lots of "lots" of them. Here is one of them that I found... http://cgi.ebay.com/41-TINY-GOLD-VICTORIAN-SKELETON-KEYS-ANTIQUE-SKELTON_W0QQitemZ370350598652QQcategoryZ3557QQcmdZViewItem

I'll keep looking :-)

OOOO... here is one with 95 of them... http://cgi.ebay.com/95-SILVER-GOLD-VICTORIAN-SKELETON-KEYS-ANTIQUE-LOOK_W0QQitemZ370354062289QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item563ad283d1

Can you tell I don't want to work yet this morning? lol

Haha jess, you are funny! And I think it is a great idea, I just don't have any advice. GL!!

I like it a lot! If you cant find keys, you could go to michaels and ask one of their knowledgeable workers (some don't know anything about crafts, make sure you find someone good!) what their ideas are. They usually have really good ideas.

I love ebay, so I agree that you would prob be able to find some on there. I guess you just have to weigh the price with the hours it will take to make them.

hmmsarcasm · March 2010

thanks guys i'll def take your advice!!

oh jessica youre insane!!

i'm going to check out those links-and we absolutely need to go out again--and how was the pole dancing class??

hmmsarcasm · March 2010

wow that second link 95 for 40 bucks that seems like a really great deal!!

do you think it would like nice as a mixed lot or should all the keys be the same?

Blonde407 · March 2010

Pole dancing.... fun only because Erica was there. I sucked with my no upper body strength so it was kind of frustrating lol. Guess I won't be stripping for extra money anytime soon LOL
I think it would be cool to have different keys but the person that has the lot of 95 has tons of lots so maybe you could email them and ask if you could have all the same key?!?

brit21489 · March 2010

I think it might look cool if they are different. I looked at the one with 95 keys and the randomness of the picture was pretty cool. But hopefully they can accommodate you if you want all the same keys. GL!

I think a mixed lot would be even cooler!
