This was a fun collaboration where we were to take something from the Goodwill or thrift store & incorporate it into a wreath. I had a beautiful picture frame that didn’t have any glass that was just screaming to be used. This is what I did.
I really love how this turned out. To see how I made this, click on the link below:
Happy Creating everyone!
St. Patrick’s Day is almost here! I’ve been playing with Terra-cotta pots & put together a Leprechaun that is also a dinner bell.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
Here’s how I did it:
I’ve been wanting to make Sharpie plates ever since I saw them on YouTube a couple of years ago. And when a very special girl gave me a set of new Sharpies for Christmas, I had to do this. (Thank you, Amanda) Making special plates for St. Patrick’s Day seemed to be the right time to try this craft. It was a little time consuming, but very relaxing. It reminded me of when I was little & spent hours upon hours coloring in my coloring books. I’m so happy with the results. Here’s how I did it.
This is a quick & easy tutorial to make a St. Patrick’s Day Wall hanging. It could easily be turned into a St. Patrick’s Day banner depending on how wide you make it. Customizing it is easy & there are very little supplies needed. It’s a very simple way to add to your St. Patrick’s Day decorating, and the little ones can help, too!
This is a very easy tutorial for turning a glass Christmas candle into a St. Patrick’s Day decoration. You need very little supplies to make this, it’s inexpensive & will brighten any area that you place it.
I’ve been itching to do this tablescape since last year’s St. Patrick’s Day after holiday sales. I love the shade of green that I used. It’s such a happy shade of green.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
St. Patrick’s Day is drawing near. The wearing of the green is everywhere, including our table. I’ve been wanting to do a tablescape using some very special pieces for a while now. Unfortunately, one of the dessert plates have been lost along they way. I wasn’t about to let that stop me, so I’ve done a tablescape for three.
I hope you enjoy it.
Mardi Gras has come and gone, and it’s time to set my sites on one of my favorite holidays, St. Patrick’s Day! St. Patrick’s Day seems to trigger a lot of things for me. It tells me that Spring is just around the corner, and soon we’ll be seeing green outside instead of so much white.
Luckily, this year, St. Pat’s Day is on a Monday & I’ll be able to serve the traditional Corned Beef & Cabbage. So I’ve been playing around with different tablescape ideas for that special meal. Here’s the first idea:
In the St. Patrick’s Day Tablescape you may have noticed a small candle in the background.
I used my Grandmother’s ‘depression’ bowl with a plain white pillar candle & some shamrock ‘scatter’. It brought a pop of color into an empty corner. And it worked for the tablescape with the patterned placemats. It was simple enough that it didn’t compete with the busyness of the placemats.
But, I just can’t leave well enough alone. It just disappeared when I used the plain/solid sided placemats. Plain white just wouldn’t do for me. I had to add ‘more’. I used some wire edged shamrock ribbon and some glitter stickers to add color.
I measured the ribbon around the candle. Added about an inch to it. I cut the ribbon and folded the end under, over lapping the raw edge. Using two straight pins, I anchored the ribbon to the candle. But that still wasn’t enough. So I added some glitter shamrock stickers above and below the ribbon. That was all it needed. Now it really adds a pop of color to the plain, boring corner of the room.
It’s now strong enough that it doesn’t disappear anymore.
I love an easy project! This could be used for any decor, as an accent piece or a centerpiece. You can use this idea anytime. Whether it’s for everyday or a holiday. Just change up the ribbon to go with what ever you’re decorating for! You can have so much fun with this one! Continue reading
