"Lucky" Barn Star

I hope everyone is having a great week.  Mine is cruising at top speed again.  Over the weekend, we had volleyball and softball tournaments. Needless to say, I was not home much at all.  However, one of the mom's had a catalogue to look at and I was inspired.  So, I came right home and started to create this:

My "Lucky" Barn Star.

I bought this last fall at Michael's when all of their summer stuff was on clearance.  The star in the catalogue was $15.00.  Mine, was $1.49.

I picked out some pretty green paper and even found a shamrock page - I love it when I surprise myself.  I just took a piece of card stock and made a template and cut diamonds out.

I glued them on with just a glue stick.  I then took a piece of sandpaper and sanded the edges down a little.

It was a little too bright for my taste, so, I added a little stain and dirtied it up a little.  I love how it turned out.

I chose a dark green for the sign.

Next, I cut out the letters for Lucky using the same paper in the star and glued them on.  I added the fun little shamrock using my kids heart shapes and just painted them in a lighter green.

Finished the whole thing off with a green raffia bow.

This is it, and, the best thing is that I didn't have to the store for anything.

I am thinking of adding it to my entryway shelf.

I hope your day is Lucky too.

XOXO

I am ready to party down HERE.
