With St. Patrick’s Day right around the corner, I had to whip out a little home decor or else I’d hear it from mom. She does such a great job decorating for the holidays, and being Irish, she pulls out the stops for St. Patrick.

Today I had to work fast. With looming deadlines and a business trip just two days away, I only had an hour to figure something out and produce it. My freshly remodeled studio helped a lot thanks to my contractor husband. He rewired, painted, and didn’t complain when I bought new Ikea furniture.

I started by covering a piece of cardboard with batting and fabric and used my favorite quick adhesive (a hot glue gun) to secure the back. Then I used my new cricut expression and cuttlebug to cut the letters and background circles. I didn’t want to go too crazy with the color, considering my front door is already a bright yellow, so I kept the palette to greens and a cream ribbon. I secured everything with more hot glue and finished it off by tying a knot in a strip of dark green fabric and attaching at the top to hang. With the yellow door, it looks as cheery as my Irish family is.

Fast, easy and festive, just the way I like it!
