St Patrick's Day

St. Patrick's Day is one of my favorite holidays because as a red head, I often get free drinks. Oh, wait, there's the crafting, too. Rainbows and clovers are featured in these fun holiday stencils.

In your local department store, St. Patrick's day accessories come in the form of shiny paper top hats, plastic bead necklaces and cheap buttons. Instead of blowing your money on these cheaply made accessories, make something unique that will still be around for next year's Irish festivities.
