Blarney!

Oh you all know how I love Rag Wreaths!

Well I've been wanting to make a St. Patrick's Day/ March one for quite some time.

This is the time!

Here is What You'll Need:

 3 heart shaped wire wreath frames 

(you could do 4 if you want to make a 4 leaf clover, I opted for 3)

1 yard each of 2 types of green fabric.

(or 2 yards of one green fabric OR 3/4 a yard of 3 types of green fabric, you get the gist) 

 Fold your fabric in half long ways.

Fold in half long ways again.

Now cut 1" strips in the fabric.

 You'll have strips like this when your done.
(Save 3 or 4 of these longs strips..you'll need them for your stem)

these strips were too long.

 Cut each of those strips into 5 pieces.

You should end up with strips that are approx 1"x 7"

 Figure out how you'd like to lay out our clover.

Then starting in the center, start tying your strips of fabric on.

Alternating fabric colors as you so choose :)
As you can see you'll want to tie your hearts together at first.
Once that is done you'll start tying the fabric around 2 bars at a time as shown best here...
The final touch is to add your stem.

 Take your extra long pieces that you saved from earlier and loop them through your back two adjoining hearts.
You'll have 6-8 long streamers hanging down.
At this point you can gather them haphazardly and braid them together.
(Sorry I didn't get better pictures of this part)

When you are done you may want to go around the edges and clean up or sharpen them.
I trimmed up a little and here was my final result!

I hope you had a Blessed Thursday!
