Happy Saint Patty’s { Patch Pin }

EHprint Print Free File: Happy Saint Patty’s Patch Pin Pattern

Although I enjoy Saint Patrick’s Day and all the excuses to utilize the color green, I must admit that specific color is lacking in the wardrobe of the kiddos.  So, in hope to avoid the pinch, I formulated these super easy patch pins.

How to Make:

1.  Using the free pattern, cut out each piece in the materials specified.  For added texture, I cut my felt circles with pinking shears.

2.  Sew the shamrock it to felt circle #1, sticking close to the edge.

3.  Iron the fusible webbing onto felt circle #2.

4.  Sew circle #1 to circle #2, sticking close to the edge, and with the shamrock facing out.

5.  Now attach the safety pin.  Cut a 1″ x .5″ strip of wool felt, using the same color as the circles.

6.  Lay a safety pin on the back of the felt circle, slip the felt strip through the safety pin, and hot glue in place.

Ta-da!  All done.  You could even attach this to a little girls headband.  Super simple and takes about 15 minutes.  Happy Saint Patty’s Day!
