I guess I was on a roll and just couldn't stop. I actually found a St. Pat's image that was square, had shamrocks and said "St. Patrick's Day" which is just about everything I look for when I'm using these frames so I resized it and got to work.
My initial reluctance to doing this hanger was that I wouldn't have any embellishments handy until I remembered that I moved that cupboard out into the sunroom and that it stood empty until I decided to use it to store some of my St. Pat's stuff. And, voila! As soon as I threw open those doors I spied the pip berries and the shamrocks. The shamrocks that I have-except the ones on a candle ring but I am not going to destroy that-are a bit too large but I think when they're mixed with the swirls of pip berries they're acceptable. Since there were gold berries on the branches, I also hit the frame up with a bit of gold Rub n' Buff and twisted some thin gold wire to make a hanger.
And, again, I reserve the "right" to tweak as it gets nearer to the actual holiday when this will make its appearance and new craft supplies become available but, if not, I am good with it as is.
I've got to run to get some groceries and then I want to roast up a bunch of veggies before coming back to see what I can find for Easter. After that I think all I will have left is Christmas. My plan is to use a round frame for that but since it doesn't "read" as large as all of the others I'm thinking of trying to incorporate some faux pine around the edges to make it larger and I might have to wait a bit to be able to buy what I will need. I have some "pine" pipe cleaners but, so far, they're not working for me. We shall see. I saw where someone said HL was beginning to put out Christmas. I haven't been to mine in a bit but maybe this can actually happen sooner rather than later. Until then, stay safe and stay tuned.
