St. Patrick himself would have approved of these little green accessories.

Though it is the quintessential color of spring, somehow green only seems to make it into a bouquet incidentally, through a stem or a leaf. Combining different shades of green, these floral arrangements demonstrate that the color is truly worthy of its own display.

Sprightly shamrocks make delightful house plants and are easy to grow, making them ideal not just for St. Patrick's Day.

Irish eyes -- and everyone else's -- will be smiling at the sight of these fuzzy holiday favors.

Rinse the pink ink from a heart-shaped rubber stamp, and use it (and a green ink pad) to add shamrocks to napkins, coasters, and more. To make a swizzle stick, stamp a clover pattern onto card stock, and draw a stem with a colored pencil; repeat. Cut out with a 1-inch circle craft punch. Glue circles together, back sides facing, onto a skewer.

Whimsical St. Patrick's Day arrangements are easy to create with a combination of naturally green Prado carnations and regular white carnations that are dyed green.

Set your favorite Irish drinks atop these charming clover coasters.

Little girls love to wear pretty things in their hair. And nothing's prettier than a tiny clover.

Transform white carnations into a lucky shade of green in honor of St. Patrick's Day.

Dress up any St. Patrick's Day meal by adding shamrocks made of green peppers to your plate. Slice a green bell pepper widthwise; it will reveal a shamrock or lucky four-leaf clover shape. Slice another pepper lengthwise to create stems. You can also present it to kids as a lucky snack -- just serve with your child's favorite dip.

Celebrate St. Patrick's Day with an Irish feast that's sure to please even the pickiest leprechauns.
