Now that St. Patricks Day is coming up, I’m getting ready to get out some emerald green decor! But since I am spending so much time in rehab trying to get my broken wrist back up to speed, I am running a bit late. So I am sharing this cute DIY St. Patricks Day flag that I shared a year ago on the blog.
With St. Patricks Day coming up, I wanted to hang a St.Patrick’s Day-themed flag in my garden. But I am always surprised at how much those tiny garden flags cost. For instance, a Leprehaun hat garden flag runs about $9 at Amazon.com.
So, using the leftover fabric from the leprechaun window valances that I had sewed earlier, I created a St. Patricks day garden flag for my garden. First, I pinned and sewed about .25-inch seams on each side and on the bottom of the flag so I wouldn’t have any frayed edges. Then, I pinned a two-inch seam on the top of the flag and sewed that, to create a pocket along the top of the flag so I could hang it from my garden’s flag stand.The flag is very simple, but it took only about 20 minutes to create, didn’t cost me anything extra, and I didn’t have to go out shopping to find one!
If you aren’t into sewing, you can easily make this flag using a bit of Stitch Witchery
If you have any ideas on how to craft a homemade garden flag, or have any projects you’d like to share, please share them in the comments.
