15 Mar How to Create a Simple Saint Patrick’s Day Wreath

With Saint Patrick’s Day approaching, I wanted to brighten up the house with some fun decorations. I realized, however, that I had absolutely no Saint Patrick’s day themed decor at all! So, together with my daughter, we set out to create a simple Saint Patrick’s day wreath. We have a set of small doors leading into our homeschool, and we thought it would be the perfect way to add a splash of color to this space – so we actually made two! One for each door.

This project is super simple. Most of the materials we already had, and those that we did not, we got at our local craft store for very cheap. It’s also something that can be made by any age group. It has plenty of scissor practice – just be careful with that hot glue! I always end up with at least one burn when I use it.

Materials Needed

• A premade grapevine wreath (we got 2 small ones because we wanted to display them on the 2 small doors of our homeschool room)
• Different shades of green construction paper (we got 6 different shades, as well as some glitter paper)
• Shamrock templates (We just Googled and found ours, you can also draw your own. Just make sure to have some good, thick cardstock to draw or print them on.)
• A pencil
• A pair of scissors (not pictured – sorry!)
• A hot glue gun and some glue
