I created two projects to share to the 'Luck of the Irish' this St Patrick's Day, the first is a vintage style paper mache box. One of my favorite tips for creating an object that looks vintage is to use flocking. Lucky for me Sparkle N Sprinkle has such a great selection of colors to choose from. It was super simple to create the look I was after on this box with 1/2" Tear-ific Tape. It created perfect straight lines and is super sticky so the flocking is sure to stay put. The image I used is reprinted from a vintage St Patrick's day greeting card, just do a Google search and you are sure to come with some great choices to save and use for your future projects.
Now, because I don't want you to get pinched...I wanted to share these looped barrettes. They are a perfect way to be wear'n the green this St Patrick's Day, they even have a little glitter sparkle in the embossed clover...perfect to catch the wandering eye of leprechaun. If you catch him you can try to get his pot of gold.
Here is a quick list/links of the products I used:
Leprechaun Stamp Set
Palm Leaf Flocking
Golden Silver Glitter
Pear Embossing Powder
Irish Spring Embossing Powder

Great card for my Irish friends. Thanks
What a great idea to use flocking on the outside of the box as a decorative element - I've always used it on the inside! The barrettes are just so much fun.
Fabulous projects! I love the hair bows and the box is just super!
Amazing projects!
Angie you are so darn creative! I love visiting your blog, something inspiring every time I come!
Thanks for the great ideas for St. Patrick's Day. Another set of cards I need to make for the shut-ins as well. My work is cut out for me I think and I need all the help I can get.
Thank you for telling me how to adhere flocking. Seeing baretts reminded me of my youth when I used to make baretts.
Love both of your projects, and the idea of using the flocking is perfect! Such a nice, soft touch on the boxes. Thanks so much for sharing with us.
My husband & are both think St. Patrick's day is a great holiday and I love to send cards to my Irish friends. Thanks for your inspiring ideas. Judy Bennett
