DIY St. Patrick's Day Crafts and More

A lot of readers are loving my DIY tips so here is one for you for St. Patrick's Day (March 17th)

Below information is from This Page @ HubPages

"I hate to admit it but St. Patrick's Day is usually one of those holidays that kind of pass by and I don't think too much of it until I get pinched for not wearing green. This year I thought it would be neat to make some sort of St. Patrick's Day craft with my 4 year old son. As usual, I checked online but when I saw all of the adorable adult crafts, I just couldn't resist doing a St. Patrick's Day crafts and home decor round-up. To me, this holiday can be challenging because you have to stick with shades of greens for the color or the colors of the rainbow but this didn't stop some very talented crafters around the internet from turning out some great projects. You will see lots of different projects in this hub, from various home decor projects to cute crafts for kids. Hopefully you will be inspired to make something for St. Patrick's Day this year."

Button Rainbow Framed Art

I love buttons and this framed art is no exception.. the only thing is it's printed buttons instead of being made with real buttons but I think it turned out gorgeous! See how it was made and get the FREE printable button rainbow at Funky Polkadot Giraffe!

Shamrock Wreath

Donna S made this wreath which I found here. I couldn't find any directions but it looks to be made by simply gluing some foam shamrocks on a wreath form and then adding a huge, beautiful bow. I love the look of it and I think it turned out very cute! You could even use felt shamrocks instead of the foam if you wanted.

Shamrock Digi Stamp

I found this free digi stamp and thought it was too cute not to share. A digi stamp is the same a s a rubber stamp except it's digital and you can color it on your computer with whatever editing program you have. Digi stamps are used a lot in digital scrapbooking. You can use these to make St. Patrick's Day cards, print them out and cut for garland or whatever you want. Find this downloadable digi stamp by Karen Pullen via About.com. Be sure to get the free printable irish blessings,too. The link is on the same page.

St. Patrick's Day Shamrock Garland

This is a very cute yet simple to make garland for St. Patrick's Day. What I love about projects like this is it's really easy to change it up a bit and put your own spin on it like instead of just using plain green shamrocks you could glitter the shamrocks before mounting them just to add a little extra glitz if that is something you like. See the full tutorial at simple as that.

Lucky Blocks

How adorable are these little blocks that spell lucky! This is another fairly easy tutorial that I found at Kaboose which was made by Amanda Formaro. You can find wooden blocks at your local craft supply store or if you wanted you could re-purpose some toy blocks that you already have. This is a very cute home decor idea and I'm about to go dig out the blocks that my son doesn't play with anymore :)

Green Fabric Strip Wreath

This is another great idea for a wreath on St. Patrick's Day. This was made of strips of different shades of green material and I must say it turned out amazing.. The colors all blend together very well and make a very pretty wreath. The form used is a wire hanger... I wish I had some green colored material because I would definitely be making one of these for St. Patrick's Day this year. Learn more about how it was made at The Magic of Ordinary Things

Framed St. Patrick's Day Art

Source: Tator Tots and Jello

Lucky Sign

Just by looking at this one, it looks printed but it is actually made using vinyl letters so it's not quite as easy as just printing something out and framing it but it's still not hard to do. You will need a die cutter to cut out the letters. Trying to cut them out yourself would probably be excruciating but it could be done. I love how the sign is hung with ribbons, too! Learn how it was made at Tator Tots and Jello.
