Iron Craft: Week 3

I'm not going to lie... I already had this Iron Craft challenge done. But I love it! And it's easy enough for anyone to do!! And there's no sewing involved- awesome for a very novice sew-er like me. I made it last year for my son's birthday party and put his name on the front. We still have it up in his playroom and it rules :) 

Here's how I made it:

Step 1: cut paper into triangles. Step 2: Punch holes at top (I used a 2-hole punch). Step 3: Thread ribbon through holes (I used 5/8 double face satin ribbon from Midori because that's what I had on hand). Step 4: (Optional) write name/message on the triangles... happy birthday, etc. Step 5: Display in all it's pretty glory! I put a small nail in the window frame and tied the ribbon around it in a knot. 

A few photos for you.

I love it! I'm thinking about doing something similar for a baby shower decoration and then it can be used in the baby's room!
