Year Around St. Patrick’s Day Idea

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

St. Patrick’s Day is a few weeks away. Another holiday? Already? Wow!

If you follow me on Pinterest, you know I am a little green obsessed at the moment. I found my favorite shade of green and a sweet shade of gray to make today’s tutorial.
But I’m not Irish and I wanted to make something that wasn’t so in your face for St. Patrick’s Day. Most everything I’ve seen for the holiday says “Lucky” on it. I chose the word BLESSED instead. And now I have something that I love for year around.

Pin It

Here’s what you need:

an 11×14 canvas (or whatever size you want)
foam paint brushes
blue painters tap, desired width
a yard stick
Ceramcoat medium foliage green (02536) paint & Ceramcoat hippo green (02090) paint
vinyl or paper for stencil

First take your yard stick and mark every 2 inches:

Next lay your painters tape down making sure it’s on there good.
Paint green paint over the tape and let dry.
Carefully peel away painters tape.

Align vinyl where preferred and stick to the canvas.
(*note- I used my Silhouette which made it super easy, but if you don’t have one, you could
still print out letters and use an exacto knife to cut them out. Then spray temporary adhesive on the back and stick down)
Paint over vinyl sticker with Hippo Grey.

Stand back and admire.
Simple and sweet.

Hi- I'm Mique (as in Mickey). I started 30days as an idea file a few years ago. After three years and hundreds of ideas, I now realize that I'll never check them all off my list. When I'm not creating, I love spending time with family and friends and long drives, especially if they end at the beach.
