Rainbow “Luck” St. Patrick’s Day banner with tons of glitter! (A little late!)

Here’s what you’ll need:

1. Lots of card stock to cut out the pennant triangle shapes, the circles, the letters and a couple of shamrocks
2. A few yards of green ribbon
3. Glue gun
4. #7 – Red Rose – Ultrafine Opaque Glitter
5. #349 – Garnet Red – Ultrafine Opaque Glitter
6. #56 – Pumpkin Orange – – Ultrafine Opaque Glitter
7. #350 – Butterscotch – Ultrafine Opaque Glitter
8. #361 – Cat Eyes Yellow – Ultrafine Opaque Glitter
9. #280 – Lime Rind Green – Ultrafine Opaque Glitter
10. #109 – Cavalado Green – Ultrafine Opaque Glitter
11. #234 – Turquoise Blue/Green – Ultrafine Opaque Glitter
12. #113 – Sky Blue – Ultrafine Opaque Glitter
13. #270 – Chesapeake Blue – Ultrafine Transparent Glitter
14. #24 – Royal Wink Blue – Ultrafine Opaque Glitter
15. #13 – Plum Pink (Purple) – Ultrafine Opaque Glitter
16. #71 – White Gold – Ultrafine Opaque Glitter
17. #79 – Black – Ultrafine Opaque Glitter

And I used 3D Embossit Art Glitter Adhesive to give the areas I glittered a little bit of a lift.

First, I glittered all the letters, gold round areas and each pennant. I did a gradient of color on each pennant. For example, for the green, I started on the left with a hint of the yellow, then went into the lighter green, into the darker green and then ended on the right with just a touch of blue… like so:

So, here are all the elements glittered and waiting to dry and be assembled:

Here’s a dry run before I glue them all down, just to see what the placement will look like:

And a side view… so glittery!

I glued down the middle pennant in the middle of the ribbon, and then glued out from there:

Here are all the pennants glued down:

And here it is all assembled and hanging from my dresser:

And I know this is lucky because a little rainbow prism showed up in this shot!
