Shamrock Window Decor


It could have been a creative green place mat for Henry.
Instead, 
we made it into a shamrock for St Patty's Day.

Here's how Henry and I made our Shamrock.

Bubble Print Shamrock Diptych



Before we made our Bubble Pop Roads, Henry made a print with his bubbles [or pops].

  I'm loving that St Patty's is coming up 




because I can always give Henry the choice of color, 
and the answer is always green!

[I added yellow and orange for him to use so we could get some gold in there, too]

Henry went to town sponging the paint on.

Once we got the bubble wrap covered with a nice coat of green and yellow-orange paint 
we flipped it over 

and pressed it onto a piece of 12x12 scrapbook paper.

Henry also did a little finger painting once we peeled it off, 
so we pressed it on again.
And again!
Henry liked seeing the prints it made.

This is Henry's finished piece.

I then cut a shamrock out of it.
I was disappointed though, 
I loved the outer edge of the paper, it had the nice dots showing through.

So, I decided to make both the inside and the outside work 
and make a diptych of the shamrock print!

Two for one!

[Though, I'm bummed because I don't have two of my 12x12 frames yet!]
