EtsySlainte & Happy St. Patrick's Day!
My boys are part Irish, so this holiday has been on my mind a lot over the years. I am half way there when it comes to the St. Patty's Day TerryGami lineup. If I don't have a book out with the new projects by the end of this year, I will post the some of the new instructions on Etsy by March 17th of next year.
The shamrocks are easy to make, and, if you cut down the washcloths or use baby washcloths to make them, you can hang them as decorations on a mantel or on a tree. (Some people have a tree for every holiday.) Reduce the size of the washcloths the as in the instructions for the Easter Egg. It may be cheaper to buy the larger cloths and cut them down. When you make the shamrock, adjust the measurements accordingly, too.
Don't forget about the foam board letters, if you want to put "Luck of the Irish" or "Erin Go Bragh" on them. There are glittered, white foam board letters available in craft stores and sometimes discount department stores.
If you reduce the size of the shamrock, you can make them as sachets for dresser drawers or to hang in closets. Wrap the stems with decorative cording for a little extra pizazz.
Happy Crafting!
~Terry
