“MARCH” Tiles
Follow instructions from the main “snappy organizer” pattern to make the tiles for this month.
Assembly
- Attach the tiles and shamrocks to the calendar with brads or desired items.
- Snaps: Center the rainbow over the snaps already sewn to the organizer to find placement. Sew two coordinating snap pieces to the back of the rainbow so they line up with the snaps on the organizer.
