simple st. patrick's day bunting



I shared a little peek at my St. Patrick's Day banner the other day & I'm super excited to finally share all the details with you! It was reeeaaaallly simple to make & you're sure to have everything on hand that you'll need to create your very own!


What you'll need to make your own
St. Patrick's Day Bunting: 

1. Some string.

2. A stapler.

3. A few buttons.

4. Green cardstock.

5. Gluestick or other type of adhesive.

6. Some pages from an old book .


Here's how you'll put it together:

1. Using your book pages cut out 5 (or however many you'd like) rectangles approximately 3.5" x 6" in size.

2. Snip out a triangle shape from the bottom of your rectangles. Hint: From left to right, find the center of your rectangle then measure approximately 1 3/4 " from the bottom to find where the top point of your triangle will be.

3. Cut out the number of shamrocks you'll need from green cardstock. I used the stained glass image HERE as my template.

4.  Attach shamrock's to your banner pieces being sure to allow enough room to fold over the top edges. Place a button in the center of each shamrock.

5. Now you're ready to put your banner together. Simply cut your length of string and attach banner pieces to string by folding top edge of banner pieces over the string & staple. Space banner pieces evenly along the string by sliding them back and forth as needed.

6. Now hang that cutie up somewhere and enjoy your new {oh so simple}
St. Patty's Day decor.
