St. Patrick's Day Badge

This is my entry for the Tuesday Taggers Challenge this week, and for Paper Cutz Challenge #31. I am making St. Patrick's Day badges at the moment, so I thought I would enter one of them. This is the badge attached to the wearer. It is a ribbon rosette with a paper rose in the centre and some lovely green Hessian ribbon at the back. It is attached with a standard badge pin.

This is the badge as it comes on the tag.

This is the back of the tag. It says Happy St. Patrick's Day in both Irish and English.

An Alternative St. Patrick's Day Badge?

I love St. Patrick's Day but I hate the tackiness of lots of the badges, decorations and other paraphernalia that goes with it. So this year I have decided to make my own badges and here is the first one. The rose in the centre is made using Sasafrass paper and the rosette behind is just a little ribbon. I backed it with a punched flower and a badge pin et Voilà! I am going to make some more over the next few days, so watch this space.
