I’m really not big on decorating for St. Patty’s Day. Usually I just decorate my front door and hang my flag out front. But since I have my wonderful Ballard shelves, I thought I’d add a little green for St. Patty’s Day. 

I found the St. Patrick’s Day subway art {free download} from A Little Lovely. I put it in my thrift store frame. I wasn’t sure what to do with the other frame that I had on the shelf, so I thought I’d try making a moss monogram.

This is all you need. The wooden letter came from Hobby Lobby and the moss came from the Dollar Tree.

I worked in small sections, applying hot glue to cover all sides {except the back}. I “dipped” each section into the moss and filled in the holes with my finger. OUCH! I did burn myself several times. Be careful!

This is what it looked like when it was finished. 

I glued a black ribbon to the back and tied it around the frame. I think it would have looked a little better in a larger frame, but oh well, it works.

I filled one apothecary jar with wicker balls that I had from a bag of potpourri.  The other I filled with leftover garland greenery from yesterday’s project.

I placed my Ballard inspired topiaries on the bottom shelf and left the family photo where it was. Just the right amount of green to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day {and spring}, don’t you think?

Oh, and one more thing, and I promise, this is the last I’ll mention it. . .
