Here is a quick and easy project to make a little St. Patrick's Day badge to sweeten up any outfit or gift. All you need is some ribbon, double sided tape, some festive cupcake wrappers and a printed copy this clip art from Martha.
To make this St. Patty's Badge, start by flattening out a cupcake wrapper. You may have to crinkle up the middle to get it to lie flat. Next, take another cupcake wrapper and fold it in half. Use scissors (pinking scissors or scalloped scissors preferred) to cut about 1 centimeter off the edge. Open it up and crinkle up the middle to get it to lie flat. Do this again for your third cupcake liner, but cut a little more off the edge. Here is how the three wrappers should look once you are done with the cutting...
Using your double sided tape adhere the wrappers together, largest to smallest. Top with the clip art from Martha after cutting out the circle images. Next, take a piece of ribbon and place a small piece of double sided tape in the middle and fold so the ribbon forms a 'V'.
Finally, using your double sided tape again attach the ribbon to the back of your badge and enjoy!
Thanks to Urban Comfort for the initial inspiration.
