The title of this post really should be: This Post is for Misutati (Aunt Misu). We have never really celebrated St. Patrick's day other than to try a few mint flavoured treats that come out this time of year. My sister, on the other hand, LOVES Ireland and will be visiting during St. Patrick's Day so I thought I would decorate for her. :)
To make my hexagon garland I simply punched out hexagon shapes with a paper punch and taped them to some baker's twine.
My abstract clovers were taped onto the chalkboard wall with washi tape and I drew a stem with a chalk marker. It can't get any easier than that!
Overall, I think it's a subtle nod to St. Patrick's Day and it's keeping with my love for modern shapes. The mint green is also a great colour to carry right into spring and you could totally leave this garland up past St. Patrick's Day if you wanted.
There were quite a few shots on my photo roll with this little photo bomber in them so I thought I'd include just one. :) I think that big geometric tea towel was temptingly within reach of his little hands!
Happy crafting!

I love it! The mint is a fun change from the normal Kelly green. And I love that black and white quilt.
ReplyDeleteI thought mint would be a great colour to carry into spring and it just happened to go well with my stools.
DeleteFerm Living has some great products.

Deletesuper cute...love the idea of making the hexagons into clovers--so smart! now I want a hexagon punch :)
ReplyDeleteAt first I was planning to cut out the hexagons and then I spied the punch at the craft store. It really saved a lot of time.
DeleteSo good! Now I think I need one of those Hexagon punchers too!
ReplyDeleteIt's a great punch and a nice alternative to the traditional circle punch.
