5 Last Minute St. Patrick’s Day DIY

Happy March Y’all! Yes it’s a new month that shares a holiday with tons of shenanigans, green clovers, pots of gold at the end of the rainbow, and the luck of the Irish. Yep, you guessed it, St. Patrick’s Day! Since  I’m literally always last minute doing DIY craft for the holiday season, I put together 5 simple, easy, inexpensive decor crafts to celebrate St. Patrick’s day. 

1. Clover Wreath

• 

• 

Materials:

• Clover Shape Board (Dollar Tree)
• Paint
• Paintbrush
• Paint Tray

Instructions

1. Paint the clover the color of your choice. (Note: It may require two coats of paint.)

2. Let it dry.  

3. Dry brush another paint of choice to give it a weathered and/or rustic look (optional.) 

4. Tie a ribbon, string, or twine to loop and hang.

2. Buffalo Check Clovers

Materials:

• Clover Template or Heart Shaped Object
• Buffalo Check Fabric (Walmart Pre-cut Fleece)
• Filling
• Scissor
• 4 Small Wooden Dowels
• 4 Small Wood Slices
• Hot Glue Gun
• Hot Glue Sticks

Instructions:

1. Find and print out a clover template online, use a heart shaped object to help you draw out your clover like I did, or just free hand it all together. 

2. Next, cut out the clover and lay it on top of the fabric. 

3. Use a fabric marker to trace around it and then cut out the fabric clover or just cut it out while holding the clover against the fabric without tracing like me. (Note:There should be 6 cutout clovers in all to make 4 plush clovers.) 

4. Match up two cutouts and use the hot glue gun to adhere the edges on the clover, but leave an opening to stuff the inside of the clover. Repeat for the other three clovers. (Note: I used remindings scraps from the fabric cuts made.) 

5. Take the wooden dowel and attach it to the wooden slice. Insert the other end of the dowel into the clover and hot glue to close the clover. Repeat for the reminding 3 clovers. (If you desire, you could stain the wooden dowels with a lite paint and water mixture like me.)

3. Lucky Charm Garland

Materials:

• Twine
• St.Patrick’s Day Coins (Dollar Tree)
• Hot Glue Sticks
• Hot Glue Gun

Instructions

1. Cut twine to desire length and then make a loop and tie a knot at each end.
2. Measure 3.5 inches from the knot and hot glue the first coin and then place another on the other side holding both coins tight until the hot glue settles.
3. Measure 7 inches from the first coin and place the next 2 coins with hot glue. Repeat this process for the remainder length of twine. (Note: If desire add more decorative items to make it your style.)
