St. Patrick’s Day Thumbprint Clover

St. Patrick’s Day Thumbprint Clover

Last week I shared a few St. Patrick’s Day ideas including this craft.

I just used some paint, not a stamp pad. 



I couldn’t stand the thought of not knowing

So I wrote a tiny “S”, “C”, or “H” on each with a green sharpie.
I popped the final project into the frame that previously held

I worked on a few more things to display on the other shelves.
Not quite finished, so more to come!
