Sad day! No {follower friday} today! If any of you have pictures of projects you have done with the tutorials off of A Lil of This & That send them to my email: sweetie8310@hotmail.com!
So instead of a {follower friday} I decided I would do another St. Patty's Day decor tutorial!! This one is probably one of my favorites! I love how simple and cheap it is!! The only thing I had to buy for this project were the green {rocks} which are $1! Anyway...on to the tutorial...

{leprechaun}

Items Needed:

1- Micheals $1 frame

6-7 green rocks/stones

Green paint

Tan/white paint

Paint brush

Sanding block

Stamps or Vinyl/rub-on Lettering

2-3 different green/St. patty's day paper

Black ribbon

1 green button

Staple gun

Step 1: Take the center cardboard piece out. Then paint your frame with your green paint
Step 2: While your green frame is drying...paint the top/front of the cardboard piece white or tan. You may have to do a few coats because they are usually blue or dark green.

Step 3: You can sand down your edges and ink them up a bit. MY {favorite}!

Step 4: Hot glue your 6-7 green rocks in the form of a letter L

Step 5: Take your stamps/ rub-on vinyl lettering...for the EPRECHAUN

Step 6: Stamp them on the rest of the center tan piece I did my funky/cute!

Step 7: Take your green papers and make a cute clover for the right corner. Glue it all on with your green button in the center. (Tutorial coming soon for these beauties!)

Step 8: Tie a knot in your black ribbon and staple it to the back to hang it!

Hang it up on your front door or any door for that matter!

Step back and admire its absolute cuteness!!
