Spring Frame

Remember the St. Patrick's day frame I made using Scrabble tiles? I decided to switch out the fabric and letters for a quick spring project.

Shamrock Frame

So here is yet another St. Patrick's Day decoration idea- and the best part of this idea is that it cost nothing!


Materials:
Frame
Paper
Stamps
Scissors
Shamrock Cut out
Ink Pad


I got my shamrock here.


Cut your paper to size, my frame was a 4x6 so that's what I did.


Center your shamrock and trace.


Stamp your word around the interior of the shamrock over and over and over.....

Wait for your ink to dry and then erase the shamrock. Then if you want stamp the same word in a different color below. Make sure to clean your stamps first- I use the cleaner from Close to my Heart- it works really well- I'm sure others work just as well.

Frame it and enjoy! You could really do this in any shape with any word- like a peace sign with your tween's name, a baseball with your little boy's name (oh cute!) the possibilities are endless!

Lucky Frame Tutorial

I ran across this little gem from 320 Sycamore before Valentine's and loved it but never made it. Now that I am full scale St. Patrick's Day ( I even rented Darby O'Gill and the Little People at the library today- is there some kind of support group for people like me?!) I knew this would be a perfect accent!

It's so easy it took less than 5 minutes and it was FREE!

I had an old frame that I love but never had a picture for just laying around, I grabbed a scrap of green fabric, scissors and some scrapbook adhesives.Cut your fabric to fit your frame, I just used the insert to measure.Place your fabric in the frame.Use your adhesives to attach your tiles to the glass- I have a travel scrabble set- that's why my tiles are so small.
