It's cold again! I was so happy with the temperatures we had during the weekend, but they didn't last that long :(
No more working in the garage; some crafting is in order while it warms up.
I don't usually decorate for St. Patrick's Day, but this year, my daughter kept asking me about it.
Are you going to do a mantel for St. Patrick's?
No, I'm not. It's only one day, and I prefer a mantel for Spring.
You can do one for St. Patrick's and one for Spring.
Ha, no, I'm not going to do that!
Are you going to do a tablescape, then?
No, I'm not, besides we are not Irish!
Hmmm you don't need to be Irish to celebrate....
Well, I finally gave in!
When I told her my plans, she smiled from ear to ear, and that paid for it all! :)
My husband gave me this bag full of wooden clothespins he had since who knows when. He used them to hold gels in front of the camera (he is a cameraman), but now that he is not a freelancer anymore, he doesn't need them.
Time to put them to good use. ;)
- One embroidery hoop
- Clothespins
- Green spray paint
- Acrylic paints
- Washi tape
- Ribbon
- Paint chips
The clothespins and hoop got spray painted. It doesn't have to be perfect.
I painted the top surface of some of the pins white before attaching the washi tape. Some others were painted light green and left just like that.
Trim the tape to fit on the face of the clothespins.
Then, you can attach the clothespins to the hoop. No glue is needed.
The clothespins can be reused later on.
Three different color paint chips were used for the shamrocks.
The chunky ribbon holds the wreath in place.
A good pop of color from the Lilies and my St. Patrick's Day vignette is ready!
That little corner in the foyer is the perfect spot for it!
