Shamrock Print

This is such a fun craft to do with children. You can do this print on different kinds of paper to make wrapping paper, cards and pictures.

Supplies :
Bell Pepper
Paper
Acrylic Paint in various shades of green
Liner brush

Directions:
Cut a bell pepper in half through the middle. Not end to end going through the stem but through the center. This will make a shamrock shape out of the cut section of the bell pepper. Clean out the seeds.

Place your choice of green paint on a paper plate

Dip the bell pepper slice into the paint lightly......getting only on the edges ..if you get to much paint wash the slice off and start over

Press on to the paper you can add a stem by painting it on with a paint brush

Continue putting the shamrocks on the paper in any design you wish and in the different shades of green.

St Patricks Day Crafting

Ive been busy crafting for my website Two Old Crows most of today. This was so much fun to gather up the things. First I made some shamrocks out of homespun and muslin. These I embroidered with a buttonhole stitch around the edge and then on the muslin one embroidered Happy St Patricks Day. I had bought an old enamelware bowl at estate sale and thought the green and cream color were perfect for St Patricks Day to that I added an old green handle dough cutter and a vintage egg beater. The candlestick light with silicone bulb gives off a nice glow. These and more St Patrick Day items can be found on my website Two Old Crows so stop by and take a peek !

A Day Spent Crafting

Ive had this pattern for a Raggedy Ann shelf sitter for quite some time and just never got around to making it.....its from Prim Raggs and didnt it turn out cute. This morning I was looking through my fabric stash and saw just a bit of the St Patrick Day print (sure wish I had bought more). I only had an eighth of a yard dont know what I was thinking but decided to go ahead and try and see what I could do with it and all in all I think it came out kind of cute. Ive added these to my website Two Old Crows in the St. Patrick section that we just added.
