shamrockin’ the stamps

Since St. Patrick’s Day is just around the corner I thought I would do just one more–or I guess two more simple projects. Earlier this week I went to Hobby Lobby to pick up a few materials that I had been needing and came across a shamrock stamp. I bought it without really having any plan and brought it home. What can I say, the impulsive shopper in me comes out from time to time ok, every time. Knowing that St. Patrick’s Day was only a couple days away I knew I needed to do something that would be quick and easy.

Here’s what I came up with!

Shamrock Tea Towel

What you’ll need:

• Tea Towel–I got mine at Ikea
• Shamrock stamp
• Fabric paint–color of your choice
• Small paint brush

What you’ll do:

• Lay your towel out flat and determine where you would like your shamrocks to be.
• Cover your shamrock stamp in fabric paint using a paint brush

• Stamp your tea towel with the paint covered stamp

• At this point it is up to you how you would like the towel to look. The stamp went on pretty faint for me, so I chose to outline the shape and leave the inside the faint gold. If you would like you could easily fill the entire shape in.

• Let it dry the allotted time, wash and enjoy!

I think this could be so sweet for a St. Patrick’s day brunch on some simple cloth napkins. It also would be a pretty cute gift paired with a delicious loaf of Ali’s honey beer bread! So many possibilities!

Shamrock Plant Marker

What you’ll need:

• A plant
• Scrapbook paper of your choice
• Scissors
• Shamrock stamp
• Stamp pad
• Toothpick
• Fine point sharpie
• Adhesive of your choice–I used scotch tape

What you’ll do:

• Stamp your scrapbook paper with the shamrock stamp

• Outline your stamped image with the sharpie

• Cut out your shape

• Adhere your toothpick onto the back of your new plant marker
• You are done!

Hope this gave you a couple quick and easy crafts you can complete right before the holiday! Have a great friday!
