St. Pat's Day Flower Everyone likes to wear green on St. Patrick's Day, whether youíre Irish or not. You can create this colorful corsage with Wrights® bright and beautiful ribbons and a few fabric scraps. Why not try pinning it to your Irish knit sweater or green tam before you head out to your local parade. Show it off! (Click on image for larger view)

INSTRUCTIONS: Print off pattern for flower. Cut out the largest flower pattern. Trace this pattern onto your first fabric, cut. Iron fabric bond onto back of second fabric. Peel off backing. Cut out the second flower pattern and trace onto your second fabric, cut. Iron second flower over the first flower. (Hint: for added interest, fray the largest flower at this point by gently pulling at the edges.) Cut out remaining flower pattern. Trace onto third fabric, cut. Place this flower on top of the other two. With needle and thread, sew a running stitch in a circle in the center of the flower (See Pattern). Gently pull thread from behind to gather all layers, whip stitch in place. Leaving a 4" tail at each end, loop both ribbons onto needle with thread, going back and forth. Sew down to flower center. Sew or glue a bead or decorative button to the center of the flower. Glue or sew on pin back. Enjoy!
