  • St. Patrick's Day Fabric Four Leaf Clover Pin

    I've been in the mood for a St. Patrick's Day craft.  The closest craft store is an hour away.  So I want to make something with stuff I have on hand.

    I have a green hand towel in my scrap fabrics.  It is worn in places and getting outdated.  (Perfect for crafting.)  I freehand cut a heart template out of a manilla folder.  I found a green button that is really the other half of a lost snap.  I had one pin back left in my craft box.  Using the template, I cut out four hearts shapes plus one extra heart (not pictured) for a later step.

    I stitched the points of the first two hearts together.

    Button sown in the center.

    Hot glued the heart template to the back of the clover for added stiffness.  I didn't want my four-leaf clover to be floppy.

    I folded the fifth heart shape in half top to bottom.  Placing my pin on it.  I snipped tiny slits were each end of the pin lined up.

    Then I put the pin through the heart to make a pretty back.  Hot glued this to the heart template on the back of the clover.

    There you have it.  A St. Patrick's Day Four-Leaf Clover!

  • Fun!  I like St. Patrick's Day too :)   I'm not sure I would survive if my nearest craft store was 1 hour away   When we stayed at a cabin in the mountains for a week, I was working on a dress for Eliza when I realized I didn't have any bias tape to finish the dress.  There were several quilt stores near by (no basic sewing notions) so I ended up driving and hour to the nearest Walmart!  I realized I'm a little spoiled.

  • Oh my!  Even Walmart is 40+ min from me.    What in the world?  Right?  lol  On the bright side, in about an hour I can be in Charleston, Hilton Head Island, Savannah, or Augusta.  All wonderful cities with great shopping.    When I go, I make a day of it and I get EVERYTHING I need.
