Shamrock Wreath

Like I said, I got the crafty bug the other day.  After I made my St. Patty's pillows I decided to make something for the front door.  Just because no one uses the front door doesn't mean it can't look cute!!

I took a wire hanger and bent it in the shape of a shamrock (three leaf clover).  I had some St. Patty's ribbon and some other various ribbons that I used to tie on the shamrock.  I finally used a long piece of ribbon to make it long enough to hang on the door. 

Now it looks nice and pretty...even if it doesn't get much use.

Happy Crafting!

St. Patrick's Day Pillows

The other day I was overwhelmed with the desire to craft...so I did.  I decided to take some old clothes and turn them into some St. Patrick's Day decorations.

The Hubby and I went to an Ugly Christmas Party before Christmas.  We went to Goodwill and found our Ugly attire.  Like I said "ugly" attire, so we had no plans on wearing these things again. 

The Hubby wore a green sweater vest and I wore a pair of green  1980's shorts.

They were transformed into these.




I used my Cricut to cut the LUCKY out of some black fabric scraps.  I used heat 'n bond to attach them to the pillow, and then white crochet thread for extra decoration and security.  Finally I added some fabric scrap flowers.  And I was done!!

Here is to Crafty Time...hope you are enjoying yours!!
