St. Patrick’s Day is still a few weeks off which still leaves plenty of time to make and enjoy this craft.  This would look so perfect on my mantle!  Thanks to Melinda at Under My Umbrella for sharing her creativity with the rest of us!

Here’s what you  need to make this:

• 3/4 inch MDF (trace letters and cut out)
• A chair leg (got mine at Lowes where the stair railing stuff is)
• Spray paint
• 12 inch 2×4
• vinyl (Pattern on 2×4 and “I’m Irish”)
• gorilla Glue
• sand paper

With Valentine’s having come and gone, it is on to the next holiday… St. Patrick’s Day!  I must admit that this holiday tends to go fairly unnoticed in our house, but I am really going to try to change that this year.  I think this wreath is a great place to start.  It is actually fairly easy to make, which makes it all the more appealing to me.  Thanks Lisa at Spare Time Sanity for the idea!

Here’s what you need to make this wreath:

• Small sheet of styrofoam for the stem
• 3 – 6″ styrofoam hearts
• 1 yard of green felt
• Straight pins
• hot glue gun
