St. Patrick's Day Paint Chip Garland

First, I told you that Emerald was the 2013 Pantone Color of the Year. Then, I showed you how I used that color in my house when I painted my stair risers. Now, I'm going to show you what I did with all of those leftover green paint chips that were lying around..........

Here is what I used:

 

Paint chips

 

Craft punch

 

Sewing floss

 

Hot glue gun

 



 

I cut out clover shapes from the paint chips using a craft punch.

 



 

 

Then, I hot glued the paint chip clovers to the sewing floss.



 

Ta da!  It doesn't get much easier than that!

 



 

 

Here is the garland hanging on my mantle.



 

Have you ever used paint chips for something other than picking out the perfect color?

St. Patrick's Day Washi Tape Shamrocks

There is always that thought that if you can make it through February then spring is just around the corner.  Well, February (and the cold it brought with it) is out the door and I am welcoming in March......specifically St. Patrick's Day!  What better way to bring a little color to this drab winter than with some cute washi tape shamrocks.

  

Supplies

 

Washi tape

Cardstock

Shamrock pattern (I used a cookie cutter)

Scissors

Pipe cleaners and hot glue gun (optional)

 

 

Cover your cardstock in washi tape.

The pattern on this tape did not line up exactly, but it wasn't a big deal. 

 

 

Trace your shamrock pattern onto the cardstock.

I used a cookie cutter as my template and traced onto the back of the cardstock

because I didn't want any pen markings on the front/washi tape side.
 

 

Cut out your shamrocks.

 

 

I hot glued a green pipe cleaner to the back of each shamrock to give it a base.

 

 

That's it!  They were so easy!
 

 

 I absolutely love the way they turned out!

 

 

 

What are you using washi tape for?
