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!
These are cute! Hope you enjoyed St. Patty’s day!
