Lucky mini burlap canvas art

  SO... what did I do with that one last clover from the Dollar Tree pack of 12 ?  I made it the star of it's own piece of art. I took a 6x6 inch burlap canvas and glued a glitter clover to the center. Then I took some thickers stickers from my stash and hot glued them on too, spelling out lucky.   Easy and quick! I think this is my favorite St. Patrick's Day project so far. Have a great weekend!

Thrifty St. Patrick's Day Tablescape

I have never set a St. Patrick's Day tablescape before, but I managed to pull one together for this year on a low budget. I had many items on hand and managed to find some cute things at the thrift store and Dollar Tree, along with 50% off Michael's items. The fun green glasses were a thrift store find at 79 cents each. I already had the jute napkin rings and found some green napkins for less than a dollar a piece at another thrift store. I picked up some stems for 50% off at Michael's to add to the arrangements. I already had the burlap wrapped jars and some faux flowers on hand.   If you've been following my St. Patrick's Day posts , you know I picked up $7 worth of items at the Dollar Tree to make a wreath and had leftovers. The remainder of the hats made cute little place setting decorations. The wood slice was already on the table as part of the winter tablescape , so I left it out as I imagine leprechauns as woodsy type fellow

Framed clovers

    Remember my $7 St. Patrick's Day wreath from last week? And remember how I said I had leftovers? Here is another project from that $7 batch of supplies- framed clover art.   I took the leftover foam clovers and started laying them out on my work table, alternating glitter clovers and plain ones. When I had nine of them laid out, I realized they would fit perfectly on a sheet of 12x12 scrapbook paper. So I grabbed a sheet of green paper and my glue gun. Then I ran off to Michael's (well not literally- it was a day or two later) and picked up a 12x12 frame that was 40% off, making this investment less than $7. I can swap out the art by season- I'm already picturing the next batch of seasonal foamies from the Dollar Tree in here!   The pack of $1 foam clovers had 12 in it- two are on the wreath, nine here. Where is the 12th one? Stay tuned! Yet another project!   Linking up here:   Under the Table and Dreaming * Sundae Scoop * * DIY Sunda
