Free Shamrock Paint Kit!

March 4, 2010 By Colleen Jorgenson 10 Comments

St. Patricks paint craft

For all of you who’ve said, “I can’t draw a stick figure!” Or, “I can’t paint anything.” Well, I’ve finally gotten started designing my PIY (paint-it-yourself) kits.

Whether you can draw or not, haven’t taken art class since high school (if at all), I invite you to give it a whirl. I think you’ll surprise yourself.

I’ve posted pictures today of my little St. Patrick’s Derby & Shamrock. Hopefully you can see from the pics just how easy it is. If you can color within lines, you can do this.

The best part? It’s free! Here’s the link with the full supply list and instructions. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to email me.

I painted this on watercolor paper, but you could do it on canvas too. Then you’ll need some craft paints, brushes & that’s about it!

As a side note, I did the “Kiss Me!” in Photoshop, but you could use a paint pen if you don’t have a photo editing program.

I hope you give this a try. And please, Please, give me your feedback – good or bad. I also have Easter bunnies, Spring flowers & lots more coming!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day, just a little early.

Colleen

    Totally cute hat!! I haven’t forgotten the fairies I wanted to speak to you about. My teething little one has just made my life very uncreative for a little while! Hence I’m catching up on blogs after midnight!
