2x4 Leprechaun Hat Craft Project

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!  I finished this 2x4 leprechaun hat just in time!!  I've been so busy lately working on a bunch of cards (will post them later) and some crafts for Easter, that I almost forgot to finish this craft.

I painted the wood pieces green.  I couldn't find any green scrapbook paper I liked, so I made my own.  I used a plain green paper and used a round stamp dauber to stamp VersaMark ink all over.  This gives it some texture without being too busy.  I distressed the edges of the paper before I glued them on.

I sealed the paper with Modge Podge an then glued the wood pieces together.

I wrapped the middle piece with black ribbon.

Finally I cut out a shamrock from green felt, distressed the edges, and glued it on.

I hope you enjoyed this craft.  Happy St. Patty's Day everyone.  More cards and Easter crafts to come soon!!

Until next time...

Shamrock 2x4 Project

Here is my latest 2x4 project that I finished last weekend.  Again thanks to my Dad for figuring out how to cut the pieces.  I know this challenged him a little bit!!

First I painted all the pieces, then used distressing ink to make it look a little worn.

Put some buttons and a cute bow on it to decorate it.

View of my fireplace.  It looks perfect in front of it with some forsythia and pussy willow in a vase.

Happy St. Patricks Day!!

Hope you enjoyed this project.  Next up I will be posting some pictures from the Philadelphia Flower Show and maybe a recipe!!

Until next time...
