Bring on the green on this St. Patrick's Day! Get your hands messy and have some fun by whipping up some fun decorations ahead of March 17.
While the Irish don't ordinarily decorate their homes for St. Patrick's Day many Americans, especially in recent years, have really been flying the flag, as it were. During lockdown, the St. Patrick's Day Tree even reared its head!
In the spirit of festivities, we came up with some fun ideas for St. Patrick's Day decorations to make. Suitable for crafters young and old these St. Patrick's Day decorations will start the festivities early in your home.
Here are some creative ideas to help you adorn your home or event venue with the luck of the Irish:
Shamrocks galore
It wouldn't be St. Patrick's Day without the iconic shamrock. Scatter shamrock cutouts or garlands throughout your space for an instant burst of greenery. You can create your shamrocks using green construction paper or opt for ready-made decorations available at party supply stores.
Leprechaun lane
Craft a whimsical pathway adorned with leprechaun footprints leading to your door or main party area. Use green sidewalk chalk to draw the footprints on your walkway or create them with removable stickers for an enchanting entrance that sets the tone for the festivities.
Irish flag banners
Showcase your Irish pride with vibrant flags featuring the green, white, and orange tricolor of the Irish flag. Hang these banners along walls, staircases, or across doorways to add a patriotic touch to your décor.
Emerald elegance
Elevate your St. Patrick's Day décor with touches of elegance and sophistication. Incorporate metallic gold accents, such as gold candle holders, vases, or table runners, to complement the lush green hues. Adorn mantels and tables with arrangements of fresh greenery, such as ivy, ferns, or eucalyptus, for a timeless yet festive look.
Luck of the lanterns
Illuminate your celebration with charming lanterns adorned with shamrock motifs or Celtic designs. Hang them from tree branches in your outdoor space or place them strategically around your indoor venue to create a warm and inviting atmosphere after dark.
