Shamrock Pin Tutorial

Here is the tutorial that was posted last month on the Creative Paperclay Company Blog.  Today, you can read about a tip on how to dye this Delight ™, air dry modeling compound!

I love celebrating..anything. But it must be a family thing.

When my younger sisters were growing up, they loved to wear pins and buttons

that proclaimed "Kiss me, I'm Irish!"

So, when my father tracked down our Irish history, you can imagine my sisters were 

extra joyful that St. Patty's Day!

(Just so you know, the family was SO POOR, that their only possession was a goat. 

When the goat died, they pulled up their boot straps and sailed over to America.

Am I ever grateful that they did!)

Here's a pin to wear if your are Irish...or if you just like to celebrate!

OR...

You may want to make this into a locker magnet as my daughter did.

I love sharing crafting with my kids!

(And yes, I think she showed me up on the decorating!!)

Supplies:

Delight ™...dyed green

Rolling Pin

Scalloped heart cutters

Dew Drop embellishments from The Robin's Nest

Pin backing

magnets

Glue Gun

1. Roll out Delight ™.

2.  Cut out 3 hearts.

My DD just announced that she wants to make more things with Delight ™.

Go buy some Delight ™ and spend one on one time with your child.

The time is priceless.
