I have finally got my St. Patrick’s day mantel up and can’t wait to share it with you. Even though it isn’t a big holiday, it is fun to see what I can come up with every year and this year was no exception.
This year I created a couple of new items to use. One was my String Art Shamrock, which I am still in love with:
The other is this new large LUCK word art piece.
I found these ‘wood’ (they are more like MDF) letters at Hobby Lobby, on sale for less than $2 each. And then I grabbed a 2x2 piece of plywood from Home Depot for about $6, This isn’t the same high quality maple plywood I used for the Shamrock. This is bottom of the line el-cheap-o plywood:
In the interest of time (and laziness) I also spay painted the board kelly green, but regular paint probably would have been better.
Finally I used a glue gun to attach the letters to the board:
And that was all there was to it. I used it as the centerpiece to my 2015 mantel:
I reused my paint chip swag I made a couple years ago..
