Lucky Shoe Charms: Random Thoughts of a SUPERMOM

Greetings, everyone! I had to leave town for a few days for a family emergency, but I have an adorable guest post for you today. My friend Kelli from Random Thoughts of a SUPERMOM is going to share a fun St. Patrick's Day Craft with you all. Take it away, Kelli!

Hi! My name is Kelli and most days you can find me blogging at
Random Thoughts of a SUPERMOM!

I am a wife and stay-at-home mom of three boys. I love to be crafty, make yummy {and SUPER fun} food, share pictures of my cute boys, and blog about the everyday happenings of my life as a SUPERMOM! When Amanda emailed me and asked if I would do a guest post this week, I knew that I wanted to share this easy, crafty St. Patty's Day tutorial. I love all holidays, and I love doing fun little things to make them special:)

One of the worst parts about boys {in the fashion world anyway}, is the lack of accessories, especially when it comes to holidays. Little girls can wear hairbows, necklaces, frilly socks, purses.....well, you get the picture! And what do boys have?!? Maybe a hat or cute tie if you are lucky!

So when I started trying to come up with something for my boys to wear for St. Patrick's Day, I knew I was going to have to think outside the box a little. My boys wear uniforms to school so a cute shirt is out of the question, and I'm pretty sure they would both refuse to wear a tie {even though I think a tie would be absolutely adorable}. So decided to bling up their shoes with some Lucky Shoe Charms!

I started with two colors of felt and a shamrock template.

Cut one color felt a little larger than your template and cut the other color felt a little smaller to make a layered shamrock.

Use a hole punch and make a hole through both layers of felt.

Sew the two pieces together, either with a straight stitch or a decorative stitch. You could also simply use hot glue to hold them together, but I like the little bit of contrast from the white thread.

Tie the charm onto your little guy's shoe and they will be pinch free on St. Patty's Day!
