St. Patrick's Day Decor

Happy MONDAY! 

I hope it's a happy one for you! 

I did not want to get out of bed this morning, but I've managed so far. 

I just wanted to share my St. Patrick's Day shelf with y'all.

I've had part of it up there for a couple of weeks.

I knew I wanted to put some subway art up there, but kept forgetting. 

I finally remembered! YAY!

So here's the completed project!

I'm digging it. :) So, as always let's break it down.

I made the little green candle holder the same way I always do. :)

I podged the fabric onto a a little votive holder.  

The fabric I used is actually part of a sheet I bought at the goodwill. It's a toddler sheet that I'm going to use to make an apron. :) Can't beat $2 for over a yard of fabric.

I also tried to make the green not as bright by mixing mod podge and brown acrylic paint together.  

I needed a little more height on the left and found that pillar candle in my kitchen. 

It was a gift from my brother and his wife.

I got this lovely subway art from eighteen25!

They do subway art for almost every holiday. 

I used one of my trusty black target frames and some Bazzill polka dot card stock for the background.

 

You've seen this K before.  

Gotta let folks know who's house they're in. :) 

I got these books from my father-in-law.  

They're pretty special.  

The little brown one was one of Charlie's grandmother's English II books.

It has notes in the margin and looks like it was published in the 1920's! 

I love that I didn't have to buy anything for this project.  

I just used stuff I had around the house!

Enjoy!
