Vintage Watering Can

Spring is here and I am ready to go play in the garden.

Tracy here and today is my turn to post on the SVG Attic blog and what could be more fitting for spring then a vintage watering can?

I am so happy with the way this turned out.  

I used paper from Pink Paislee and the  Hex shaped watering can from the 

SDS Watering Wishes collection

To create this project, 1st open the Hex shaped watering can and double the size.

(mine stands almost 8" tall and is 11" wide from the handle to the spout)

Once the can is glued together and before you add the optional access pieces, ink everything up with a tan ink.

Cut two of the flat daisies, without changing the size.

Ink them as well.

The can needed a couple of butterflies so I used the two from

Easter Elements file.

To finish it off, tie some twine around the spout.

I can't wait to place this project up on my shelf in my kitchen. 

Leprechaun Hats

I don't know about you but I am having a hard time wrapping my mind around the fact that not only is it March, but that March is half over!

What???

Anyway, Tracy here and today is my turn to post on the blog. To help celebrate St. Patrick's day this week I decided to make some fun gifts.

I love these little hats and they are perfect for sharing a little treat.

The file is from the JGW Top O the Morning kit

Jodi has easy to follow instructions here.

I created two different sizes of hats.  The dark green is the hat just as Jodi created the file.

To make a slightly bigger hat, increase the size by 125%.  At this size it still fits on a 12 x 12 mat but the hat is a little bigger.

To give the hats a finishing touch, add some twine around the hat band. 

I am so excited with how these turned out and I can't wait to give them away.

I hope you will check out this fun file.  You still have a couple of days to create some really great projects before St. Patrick's day is here.
