Lucky St. Patrick’s Day Decor

I am not Irish by blood… by I like to say I am Irish by graduation. Four years at Notre Dame makes you an honorary Irishman (or woman) for life. It also makes St. Patrick’s Day pretty much second only to Christmas in our house. I love St. Patrick’s Day decor because they double as football season decorations around here too. This simple Shamrock Wreath really only took 2 minutes to make. And if you don’t believe me, check out the video at the end of this post.

DIY Shamrock Wreath Supplies

St. Patrick’s Day decorations can be somewhat limited in supply – especially after the red, pink and hearts that seem to be oozing out everywhere leading up to Valentine’s Day. The good news for this project? Those hearts go on massive sale come February 15th, and you can use them to make shamrocks!

Supplies

4 – 6 inch grapevine heart wreaths
Hot glue
Festive ribbon (optional)
Boxwood wreath (optional)

Using 3 grapevine hearts and half of a fourth heart, you can turn your Valentine’s Day bargain buy into lucky, St. Patrick’s Day decor.

How to Make Your Shamrock Wreath

Take three 6 inch grapevine hearts and join them together at their points to create the leaves of the shamrock. Hot glue the sides together and hold in place until glue cools.

Take the fourth heart and either bend it in half to snap the grapevine heart in half or use pliers or strong scissors to cut it. Use hot glue to adhere this to the shamrock leaves, forming the Shamrock Wreath stem.

Once the glue is cool, feel free to adorn your Shamrock Wreath with festive green ribbons. I added a burlap and shamrock bow to the center, then formed a loop at the top with thinner, green grosgrain ribbon to hang the wreath with. Layer it over a preserved boxwood wreath for greater effect.
