Lucky banner by Marie Ramirez

Hi all!

Today I am showing you all how to make this sweet lucky banner out of hambly goodness. It is super simple, quick and easy to make.

Supplies

• Paper trimmer with ruler (or just ruler and scissors)
• Pencil
• hole punch
• boarder punch
• heart punch
• hambly silk screened paper
• school paper (dollar tree has this)
• Pop dots
• gold sequins
• Glue
• String

1. To start you only need one sheet of the green hambly paper. It can be any green hambly. Punch hearts using your heart punch. I love this hambly pattern and the color contrast. So beautiful! (I inked the edges of all my hearts with a green ink.)

2. To assemble your clovers group 3 hearts together (or 4 but I liked the look of 3 better) using a scrap piece of paper, glue. I fashioned a stem by just cutting a sliver of the same paper. Attach a pop dot to the back.
3.Glue gold sequin to the front middle of your clover to add a little sparkle. Set aside to dry. ( I punched 30 hearts)
4. To make the banner I cut 4x5 rectangles out of the lace Hambly paper. Measure 2 inches up and 2 inches in. From the corner to the middle dot draw a line. Repeat. (I also inked the edges with green)

5. I wanted my banners to have a more layers so I used plain school paper to back it. ( 4 1/4 x 5 1/2) Glue together. Punch holes to string on both top corners.
6. Last but not least I added a small rectangle to make my 3 leaf clover pop. I punched the bottom with my lace boarder punch. Assemble all your pieces and you are done!
I hope you enjoyed this and that your banner brings you luck for many years to come!

Wow, love this simple and stunning idea...I think I might make one with the shamrocks adhered with removable adhesive, so I can switch them out for other seasonal accents like bunnies, hearts, etc...that way the neutral banner can stay up longer throughout the Spring holiday season! Thanks so much for the great inspiration!
