St. Patty's Garland

As you saw yesterday with my Rainbow Cupcakes, I'll decorate/bake for any holiday there is. St. Patty's day is no exception- even though I'm 0% Irish. Since removing our Snowflake Garland from the holidays, our windows have been pretty bare- my half ass attempt at a Heart Garland for V-day was just not sufficient. Thus, my friends, the green St. Patty's Day Garland was born.

I started by cutting up a few sheets of patterned green scrapbook paper into triangles...

....and grabbed some green ribbon (that I snagged at Michael's Crafts for 20 cents, btw).

Now, as you all know, I'm a ridiculously impatient crafter. A smart, patient person would have neatly set the ribbon out, and carefully taped the triangles in a row. Weeeelllll....I just started taping and taping and the next thing I knew, this is what I had:

Ah, yes. A lovely knot of ribbon, tape, and paper. Just a typical night at our apartment. Smooth.

After finally detangling the giant mess I had created, I first hung the garland on our huge living room wall to make sure the triangles were spaced out fairly evenly.
