3 tone spring sign "How to Paint"

How to paint your own 3 tone Spring Sign.
I saw this cute spring sign on poppyseedprojects.com  It's Say's she offers classes.  I looked all over her web page.  I couldn't find any info on classes or pricing.  So, I decided to make my own.  My version, I'm sure is a lot larger.
I cut my board 24in X 24in.  Then I painted the entire board white.
 Next I used my silhouette cameo and cut a double scalloped circle.  I had to cut in fourths and tape together due to the size of my board.
 Tape you scallop circle on your board.  I made the template out of paper.  Something this large would be harder to put together with vinyl. (I have tried with paper and vinyl before)
 Paint your outer layer first.  

 Next I cut the phrase using vinyl (I used Edmund's font).  Center the phrase and place in the middle of your circle, using transfer tape.
 Paint your inside layer over the vinyl

 Remove paper and vinyl templates. I did touch up a few spots with a fine tip paint brush
Welcome Spring!

 Step2:  I used a water bottle lid, dip in paint and stamp on burlap.  I also added a pinch of glitter, while the paint was still wet.
Step 3:  let dry (they dry very quick)
 Step 4: Sew or glue ribbon or lace across 5 triangles
 Now you have a fun pennant banner!

St. Patrick's Day Pots

I bought some mini pots at the dollar store
First paint them black

 Next add a layer of tacky glue
 Then roll in green or gold glitter
 I cut out a shamrock and glued it to the front
add treats and a tag of your choice.

I am loving the saying:
Tis far better at
Rainbows End
to find not
GOLD
but the heart of a 
Friend!

I will be passing these out to friends!

St Patrick's signs


Here are a few wooden signs, I made these for extra decor in my house.


St Patrick's Banners

I made a few of these LUCKY banners to give as gifts.  They are small, as you can see they fit across a door.  They were a quick 20 min project.  I also made a little shamrock doily to add to my coffee filter wreath.
