St. Patrick's Day Banner

Wrapping up our St. Patty's themed week we have this fabulous banner project designed by Nathalie Leonelli.



Did you celebrate Saint-Patrick’s Day yesterday? We don’t really do anything special in my family but I like to decorate for the occasion nonetheless. I pull out my kids Saint Patrick Day art and crafts from elementary school but since they are now in Junior and High school I don’t get any new ones, sooooo…. I decided to make my own decoration this year!




I created this banner with the Parrrty Me Hearty collection which has several hues of green perfect for the Irish celebration! The pennants from the “Shell-A-Brate” paper were my starting point.




After cutting 5 of them and adding Thickers (also from the Parrrty Me Hearty collection), I cut a series of slightly larger pennants from kraft cardstock to adhere them on.




You could use a punch or die-cutting machine but I hand cut a heart template and then 6 hearts from the “Sand Castles” paper to form the shamrocks. 




I sewed around each pennant and then fed them one by one into the sewing machine to put the banner together. After doing that, I adhered the shamrocks and the little ribbon bows as my final touch.




I’ll probably keep it up a few more days because I like it so much

Thank you for stopping by and do not hesitate to let me know if you have any questions regarding the making of this project.

Imaginisce patterned papers, American Crafts Thickers (Par-r-rty Me Hearty); American Crafts cardstock; Michael’s ribbon
