DIY Decoration – Shamrock Wreath

With St. Patrick’s Day just around the corner and with last name like Bailey I decided that it was time for some DIY decorations to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day.

I was thinking that our front door can use little sprucing up with a new wreath. A SHAMROCK WREATH to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day would be appropriate and fun to do.

Make your own wreath is very easy and you can get your imagination go wild.

In order to make my Shamrock wreath I needed a quick stop at our local Dollar Store – my headquarters for DIY decorations.

I was looking for a foam wreath, but I was out of luck. I remembered that I had an old Christmas wreath at home I was planning on throwing out.

I picked all of the other supplies I needed to make a wreath and headed home.

My Shamrock Wreath was finished within an hour and it is one of my DIY decorations I really like.

To make your own wreath you’ll need:

• 1 Foam Wreath (or an old wreath)
• 1 Green Crepe Streamer
• 1 Shamrock Garland
• 10-15 Shiny Pennies (or chocolate gold coins)
• Glue Gun
  

Wrap the crepe streamer around the WREATH. Make sure you cover it completely.

Make Your Own Wreath

Start of Shamrock Wreath

Wrap the Shamrock garland around the wreath few times till the wreath is completely covered with shamrock.
You might have to use glue gun to attach few hanging Shamrocks onto the wreath to fill the empty spots.

Attach Shamrock Garland

Using glue gun attach pennies all over the Shamrock wreath.

Esy DIY Decoration

Make a ribbon using the crepe streamer or green and gold ribbon if you have any. Attach it to the top of the wreath using glue gun.
