St. Patrick’s Day Wreath DIY

I was inspired by Flamingo Toes’ St. Patrick’s Day wreath and created a simplified version – I don’t sew, no matter how simple it is.

I had a shamrock die for my Sizzix so I cut the felt with that, glued it to a second darker piece of felt, and cut this piece with scissors. You could also cut the shamrocks using a Cricut Maker (a much more commonly used crafting cutter).

The Leprechaun came to our home

We like to have a little fun with the holidays and my son was hoping to see signs of the Leprechaun. No trap this year – maybe he gave up after no success the last few years (I think the Leprechaun traps kids build are one of the most adorable things).

The leprechaun left a train of shamrocks that led to a basket of green goodies for my son. The shamrocks were cut from cardstock with my Sizzix. 

What was in his basket of goodies? butterfly net, green hot wheels, Minecraft characters, a green stylus for his Nintendo DS, and baseball cards.
