10 Ways to Wear Green on St. Patrick's Day

Legend has it that donning your best green keeps those pesky leprechauns from pinching you! So raid your closet, your drawers, and your craft supplies for these easy-to-assemble green accessories and garments.

Perhaps, you thought only leprechauns were the crafty ones on St. Patrick's Day. It's time you join in on the fun with a festive set of lucky charm bracelets. And unlike leprechauns, these charms aren't invisible. To the contrary, they make quite a stylish statement.

Fresh clover is nice, but these fabric flowers can be cherished for years to come. Cut yours from scraps of green fabric — almost any kind: organza, linen, various cottons, velvet — will work, and affix them as a brooch that you can wear all day long.

For an elegant heirloom look, skip the head-to-toe green garments and opt for something understated, but certainly not dull. Following these steps, you too can create pretty pendants and pins that will rival vintage silhouette cameos. You can even create one in your great-grandmother's image, as real as if she brought it over from Ireland herself.  

If you’re hoping to rock the shamrock socks off all your friends and family, this holiday shamrock inspired accessories are the quickest way to do so. Luckily, this can be done by easily adding a fun clover to hair accessories like a headband or hair tie. 

Did you know, way back when leprechauns were actually believed to be red? Happily, that silly rumor has been transformed green as all leprechauns look better in green and gold attires. Hosting a St. Paddy’s Day bash and have no green-ish pixies on the guest list? That’s not a problem as crafting up a batch of mini leprechaun inspired party hats will pad the invite list. Of course, pinching is optional.
