St. Patrick's Day Welcome Sign

St. Patrick's Day is about a month away, so it's time for some holiday crafting:

This was done the same way as the valentine welcome sign.  We used little wooden rectangles covered with paper.  Add some glitter foam letters.  Then glue your rectangles onto a long piece of ribbon.  We added a loop at the top for hanging, a bow because it's cute, and a little bit of gold ribbon between each of the blocks.  On the W and the E at the end we added a rhinestone clover.  Cute, easy & cheap!  My favorite combo for a quick craft.

So far I've only done one of these for Valentine's and St. Patrick's.  I'm thinking I will add a few more to my collection this year...maybe Easter & something for summer?  We'll keep you posted.

St Patrick's Rainbow Bread

The kiddos love to have fun holiday food.  Along with the normal green pancakes we made rainbow bread.  I found the idea here (hers looks much better than mine!).  I used one of my favorite bread recipes I found on pinterest.  Adding the food coloring to each section and kneading it in was time consuming, but the kids helped me-and LOVED it!  They have been asking to make bread every day since.  It didn't turn out to be a great rainbow shape, but the fun colors had the desired effect for the kids.  They loved the grilled cheese (gold in the middle of the rainbow) sandwiches we made with it.

St. Patrick's Welcome Door Hanging Craft

It's almost a week past St. Patrick's Day, but I wanted to post a few of the fun things we did this year.  To make this welcome sign we used unfinished wooden rectangles from Michael's (about 30 cents each).  We added paper, then sanded and distressed the edges.  Next was gold glitter foam alphabet stickers.  Then hot glue the rectangles to cute green ribbon.  We tied a piece of gold ribbon between each letter and added a bow on the top.  On the W and bottom E there is a rhinestone shamrock.  It was a fun, quick craft for under $5.
