A fun little project for this week on the bench that I wanted to share with you. We have been having fun creating these little spots for some of the holidays where we can write little messages to each other, wishes, etc . . . for upcoming holidays.
For St. Patty's I did some wet on wet green painting with my crafty mama's last Friday that I made into some shamrocks. We will be writing wishes all week long in hopes that some little leprechaun's do some granting!
I added a sweet little basket for them to go into and then when I was at an antique mall this weekend getting a little fix I spotted this wonderful green apron. I decided to upcycle it, cutting away the straps, adding a basic cotton backing and using the pocket to tuck in the blank shamrocks- a lucky find and fun upcycle- beats buying new fabric and making the pocket and I like to think that there is some wonderful energy in that old apron!
A fun easy tip is to use a cookie cutter for your stencil if you are cutting out your basic shapes.
Now we enter a fun week where our home learning will be all about the folklore of St. Patty's, cooking some irish food, and I am planning a little treasure hunt for the boys on Thursday!
