Quick and Easy St. Patrick’s Day Craft

I don’t usually decorate for St. Patrick’s Day.
It’s not a big highlight at my house. But since Easter is later than usual this year, I thought it might be fun to make something this year. 

I stumbled across this easy idea the other day and thought I could make that using my silhouette and put my own spin on it.
I hit the jackpot last year at a few garage sales with $1 frames of all different sizes and shapes. They are sitting in my garage, waiting for a project. So I grabbed a small one and painted it green. Then I sanded it lightly and put a little stain over the top.
I measured the opening and cut out a piece of foam core board {is that what it’s called??}. I got out my Silhouette and typed a bunch of letters in with a “lucky” toward the bottom. Then I printed it out in black vinyl. And I also printed off just the “lucky” letters in green vinyl, along with a little shamrock that I downloaded from the Silhouette Online Store. 

I put the vinyl on the foam board, except that I peeled the black “Lucky” words off. I put the green “Lucky” on the board in the empty space. Then I found a spot at the top of the board for the Shamrock and I peeled off one of the letters and put the Shamrock there.
The last thing I did was hot glued two coordinating ribbon on the back of the frame. And I was done.

Easy project! 
And you could do this for any holiday — 
Easter, Birthday, Valentine’s Day, Christmas, you name it.
Also, you don’t need a Silhouette to make this project. You can get scrapbook letters, stamp it like the original did OR you can design it on your computer and frame it.
So there’s my easy St. Patrick’s Day project. 
Do YOU have any St. Patrick’s traditions?
Do YOU decorate?

    I think the admin of this website is in fact working hard in favor of his site, for
    the reason that here every data is quality
    based material.

    Jen,

    I usually don't decorate for St. patrick's day either, but you are right, there needs to be some color in the house until Easter ( usually when all of my spring stuff somes out.)

    That sign is tooo cute!

    February 28, 2011 at 6:57 PM

    LOVE how this turned out!!! It might even talk me into doing something for St. Patty's. I love how clean it is with the pop of green. So SUPER cute, Jen!

    I LOVE this! So cute and simple! I was really hoping this was going to be a printable because I seriously need to change out the Valentine's day one that is still on my kitchen counter:)

    so cute!
    we don't usually do much, although i try to at least do something little to make it a special day for my kids…. put a few drops of green food coloring in their milk at breakfast, make an 'irish meal' (something with potatoes!), or i have also made green eggs & ham!

    Cuteness, Jen!!!! I have a St. Patty's garden flag, but I don't have anything for indoors. I might need to do a little shopping or crafting. 😉 I don't want to go all out, but it's fun for the kids to have some acknowledgement of the holiday. 🙂 Love the ribbon!!!

  23. Amy Kirchhoff says

    Man…I really want a Silhouette. I did this using paint and stencils b/c I like the messy medium, but these letters are so crisp! Super cute.

  24. Bellenza Wedding Bistro says

    February 28, 2011 at 12:27 PM

    The green paint you chose is such a vibrant shade, and love the polka dot ribbon to match!

    This is so darling! Thanks Jen! I have been debating whether or not to decorate for St. Paddys. I still have some decorations from my daughter's 1st birthday up, including a really fun chandelier I made out of rock candy.

    Hope your weekend was wonderful!

    Jen – that is just too stinking cute!!! I normally don't decorate for it either – but there is so much time between V-Day and Easter I decided to make a little something for the the door! 🙂
