Materials Needed
- White shadow box frames (buy your preferred size)
- Burlap fabric
- Shamrock cutouts (glitter, patterned, or solid green)
- ScissorsRuler
- Optional: Hot glue gun & glue sticks
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Cut the Burlap
Measure and cut a piece of burlap slightly larger than the frame backing to ensure a snug fit when reassembling the frame.
Step 2: Secure the Burlap (Two Methods)
- No Glue Method: Simply place the burlap inside the frame, ensuring it is stretched tightly to prevent folds or creases. Press the backing firmly in place to hold the fabric securely.
- Glue Method: If you prefer extra security, use a hot glue gun to attach the burlap to the frame backing. Smooth it out before the glue dries.
Step 3: Choose & Place the Shamrocks
Select a shamrock cutout (glitter, patterned, or solid green) and decide on the placement. Centering it gives a balanced look.
Step 4: Attach the Shamrock
- If your frame has a glass cover, simply place the shamrock inside and let the glass hold it in place.
- If using an open shadow box, lightly glue the shamrock onto the burlap to secure it.
Step 5: Assemble the Frame
Reinsert the backing into the frame, ensuring everything stays in place.
Step 6: Display Your Decor
Arrange your finished frames as a set or individually to create a festive St. Patrick’s Day display.
