St. Patrick's Day is next week and I have yet to put out any decorations! I'm so behind on this green holiday. We haven't even seen signs of our little leprechaun visitor!
I thought I'd do a St. Patrick's Day craft experiment and see if I could stir up some luck (and motivation)!

Since I had leftover paint, I continued experimenting:
I think I may cut out some of these designs and use them for scrapbooking or crafting.
Here's the final look of the original clover after it dried:
