DIY Shamrock Garland





Hello everyone!
February is almost over and its time to get ready for March!
Ever since I was a little girl, I never really like St. Patrick's Day, I really don't like being pinch just because I wasn't wearing a certain color.
So I do not go all out for St. Patrick's Day, but I still wanted to do a little craft or two.

First one being a Shamrock Garland.





Here is whatcha gonna need;

*Two different color green paper. I used paint chips (You get them at Lowes, Home Depot or even Walmart. Plus its free, and free is good! I grabbed about 10 of each color. You could even throw some white in there.)
*Pencil and a sheet of white paper. (To make the stencil out of, or just print a shamrock out)
*Needle and white thread.
*Scissors


First things first! Make your stencil or print your shamrock out.
I drew a template of my paint chip to make sure it would fit.




After you have your stencil, begin to outline you shamrock on your paint chip/paper.






After your all done, Cut the shamrocks out carefully.


Once your shamrocks are cut out, Poke 2 hole at the top of the shamrock.
This makes threading so much easier.

Like this:

 

Begin stringing  you shamrocks on your thread.
I didn't cut the thread off the spool until I had all of my shamrocks on the thread.






I didn't tie the thread at the ends because my shamrocks didn't really move, but tying yours is up to you.

Here is my little holiday corner.




Thanks for stopping by!

I'll thinking for more march crafts, and I really want to do a "Frozen" Craft!

See ya soon!
