"I love you, I love you," said the little green man,
"I love you, I love you to bits."
"I love you, I love you," said the little green man,
And he scared me right out of my wits!
I hope you and your leprechauns love these projects to bits.
St. Patrick's Day Hair Pin Friendship Card
Woodgrain tag comes from the Sweet Disposition / Summer Love Tags
Brads are a mix from both the new Canvas Brad sets
Patterned Paper is from the Summer Love Mini Deck
Hair pins can be removed from the tag and worn, of course!
Shamrock Cupcake Toppers
These cute pics are made from Summer Love and Sweet Disposition papers.
Just punch four hearts and two circles. Stitch the hearts to one circle, then glue the second circle to the back with a toothpick sandwiched in between.
Ribbon Four Leaf Clovers
To make these you'll need green ribbon. Mine was 1" wide. Cut a length, giving yourself extra, about 12" long. Trim one edge with pinking shears so that it won't fray.
Start a running stitch and continue stitching as shown until you have this.
Each time you come to the edge, not where your needle is, if it is above the fabric start the next petal under the fabric or vise versa. See how my thread is under the ribbon and then I've brought it over the top of the ribbon for the next stitch? This is important because if you do it wrong, your petals won't gather.
Once it's all stitched, trim with your pinking shears and then pull the thread to gather the petals. You may be surprised to see that the stitches are the inside of the petal leaving the pretty finished edge of the ribbon on the outside.
Pull it until it's tight and then stitch the two ends together. I put some of our cute brads (I have lots of them ;) and some paper embellishments I had left over from a previous project in the center.
I think now I'll make little brooch pins with them for my girls and their friends to wear on Sunday. They would be really cute on headbands or pony tails too!
