"The desire to create is one of the deepest yearnings of the human soul. No matter our talents, education, backgrounds, or abilities, we each have an inherent wish to create something that did not exist before.
We develop ourselves and others when we take unorganized matter into our hands and mold it into something of beauty."
- Dieter F. Uchtdorf

Happy St. Patricks Day!

I made a couple of quick, but cute crafts to celebrate St. Patties Day. I got my inspiration for my shamrocks from some 4 leaf clovers I saw on this blog.

I colored some coffee filters with my shimmer spray. I used a mixture of blue and yellow on one, some green in the perfect shade of shamrock on another, and the same green on a brown coffee filter. I folded the filters in half, then in half again, and in half one more time. With pinking shears I rounded the top (the widest open side). Undo the last fold and you have a heart shape. Staple 3 together at the points for a shamrock. I punched circles from scraps of paper for the centers and cut stems from brown cardstock.

 I stuck them to the mirror in the entryway.

I made a smaller version for a card using mini cupcake liners and a button.
