For this week's craft I wanted to get into the St. Patrick's Day spirit. This project is incredibly easy, low cost and I think very cute, but not cheesy.
Supplies:
I bought one sheet of scrapbook paper in a green damask pattern, on sale for 50 cents. The seed beads were $2.99 for a small container in a coordinating green. I used tacky glue which I already had on hand. I also used a 5 x 7 frame that I had. Total out of pocket cost was $3.49.
How To:
First I cut out the scrapbook paper to the 5 x 7 size. I downloaded a picture of a four leaf clover I liked from a Google image shirt. I traced it with a pencil onto the scrapbook paper.
Trace the outline of the four leaf clover in glue. Then using a paintbrush pull the glue into the center and evenly coat the template in glue.
Finished! First I had it in the black frame and I liked it.
Then I remembered this green frame that I had bought a few weeks ago on rock bottom clearance from Target. It cost me a mere $1.48!
Even better!
