It was part of my personal goals this year to make something new for each holiday from my stash of ideas. I found this banner on Pinterest awhile ago and decided that I would make it for St. Patrick's day.
The problem is that I deleted the pin before I was able to refer to it in this post. I cannot remember who to credit for this, which is too bad because she has copies of these awesome maps that I downloaded to make the project. So if odds are in my favor and you've seen this project before, let me know so that I can give due credit!
Like I said, I downloaded the two maps of Ireland off of this website, but I suppose you could find any black and white image to make the background. I free-handed the pennant shapes and cut out 16 (which was possibly a tad too many--I think 10 would have been perfect.) I backed the paper with some tan cardstock and inked around the edges to distress it a bit. Other than that, I pretty much copied the original. The shamrocks are heart shapes that I traced, cut out and inked, and glued together to make a shamrock shape. I let it dry, punched holes, laced some thread, and hung it up on my shelving unit. It was pretty easy and fun to have something festive for St. Patrick's Day!
