I’d love to show you how I made this easy and quick shamrock block for St. Patrick’s Day! It literally took me under 10 minutes to put it all together, not counting waiting on the paint to dry!
Keep reading to see how easy it was to make!
For this project you’ll need a few supplies:
Light green and dark green card stock
Ribbon
Wood block
Americana Gloss Enamel ~ Festive Green
Foam brush
Elmer’s spray adhesive
A Silhouette and shamrock image or a shamrock pattern to trace
First I painted my wood block and let it dry. My block measured a little bigger than 5 inches by 5 inches. While my paint was drying I cut out a shamrock and patterned background using my Silhouette. (You can find tons of my Silhouette projects
here.)
If you do not own a Silhouette you could easily find a shamrock image online, size it to fit your block, and then trace and cut it out using the green card stock.
After my wood block was dry I used some Elmer’s Spray Adhesive to attach my patterned background and shamrock to my block of wood. I love this stuff! It works perfectly for projects like these.
Then I wrapped a green ribbon around my block of wood and tied it in a knot. I’m all done!
Now wasn’t that so easy? Now I have a little something to decorate for St. Patrick’s Day with!
