St. Patrick's /Spring Door Hangers

These are fun and oh so easy to make.

I traced a pattern from a door hanger onto cardboard and cut out 2 door hangers. If you don't have a door hanger they sell wooden ones at the craft store, however, the ones I bought did not fit my crystal knob door handles throughout the house.  You can also find door hanger patterns on line if you do an image search.

Now, I love to mix things up mixed media art style, so I began by  adding various papers using a glue stick.

 

On the other side, I used some finger paint paper to get started. (Yes, my friend had given me several sheets of finger painted papers from her students.) Green for St. Patrick's and green for the Spring side of the door hanger.

Using my finger, I applied some white gesso to soften the harshness of the green and then I began to add some random stenciling to both sides using yellow gold, white, black and green. 

And I stenciled on the butterfly.

I gathered up little stacks of colorful bits of paper and create  clusters as a backdrop for each saying. 

I embellished with some designed  printables  that I found on Pinterest and added those to the St. Patrick's side. 

This little bee was made using a silicone bee ice tray and hot glue. What a fun way to mold up some goodies. Then, I painted those bees.

 I spelled out the word SPRING on little triangles and added those. Next, a little buzzing trail using a permanent black marker. 

Silly, fun, springtime color is popping up everywhere around the house now and these are a nice little addition.

Enjoy the nice weather.

With love and gratitude
