We're going green
and it's a perfect fit for
St. Paddy's Day,
Spring,
and being kind to the planet.
These
These
aren't over-the-top, yet
they're unique and they catch a
bit 'o sparkle in the "bow of clovers."
Here's how these scrap-busting gift packages
will also help with your Spring cleaning...
{the fun way!}
You simply Mod Podge strips of
leftover craft papers to an old round
cardboard food container.
Mine used to hold raisins.
Oat meal containers work well too.
Now you're really "Going Green"
for gift-giving, if you get
my meaning!
For the "bow of clovers"
I used silk hydrangeas from a clearance sale.
You can check out the lid tutorial here
version of a pretty package.
They look lovely all Spring.
If you don't use them to wrap a gift,
use them to hold little odds and ends
around the house.
It could even be your Leprechaun trap!
Enjoy your St. Paddy's Day celebrations,
crafting and DIY projects!
