Shabby Shamrocks - Again!

I don't see myself making any St. Patrick's Day crafts at this point. It's a few days away, the kids wear uniforms and they are out of school on spring break anyway. But I'm going to go ahead and repost a project I did last year. Shabby Shamrocks!

They are so easy! This is what I started with. I folded a piece of paper in half, and then in half again, and drew a heart like shape in the corner.

After I cut it out, this is what I had. I also cut out a little stem shape.

I took the piece that I cut out of it (sorry, no pic of it whole, but I'm sure you get the idea!) and seperated it into 4 pieces. I only use 3 for this. Again, no picture of the next step, but I glued these pieces onto another sheet, and cut it out. That way I had one solid pattern. Then I just pinned it on the fabric and cut them out. Two layers of each, and some felt for the back. Then I attached an alligator clip. But you could use a pin as well.

And there you have it! Simple, cute & easy!

Shabby Heart Hair Clip

I'm bringing back another project from last year. I promise I am going to try & get something new posted soon! But I have more traffic now, so I'm sure some of you havent seen this yet. I am in the midst of cleaning out & reorganizing my craft room/laundry room/utlity room/2nd bathroom, so hopefully when that's done. So in the meantime...

My daughter loves all things hair. Hair bows, clips, headbands... she likes them all! I've made a few of the fabric hair clips that are all over the place. A couple flowers, a couple circles, but this time, I knew I wanted to try something different for Valentine's Day. I decided to try a heart. And I think it turned out really cute!

It just two layers of each fabric, stiched together with some felt behind it. I roughed up the edges a bit and stiched it onto a clip, and boom, done! Took maybe 20 minutes? Super quick & easy, and a great way to use up some scraps.
