17 St. Patrick's Day Crafts and Decorations

Feeling lucky? It could be the luck of the Irish. After all, everyone is Irish on St. Patrick's Day. On March 17, there's much to do from cooking corned beef and cabbage and donning your finest green attire to raising a glass in honor of Irish pride. You can (and should!) also make and decorate as part of the festivities. We have ideas for any style of occasion. 

Hosting friends and family? Gather together for a St. Patrick's Day lunch of healthy greens with elegantly folded four-leaf clover napkins. Or, if you're really feeling the gold and green spirit, see the cocktail party we hosted in a lush greenhouse with balloons galore. (It's happy hour inspiration beyond the green-colored beer.)

Have a group of wee ones? Round them up for a kid-friendly crafternoon. Our St. Patrick's Day crafts are simple, fun activities sure to put a smile on your children's faces—catch a leprechaun with a homemade trap, follow a magical set of footsteps to one pot of gold, or make it a treasure hunt to find and collect surprise balls... then, unravel the crepe paper to see the tiny lucky tokens hidden inside.

Don't forget those who live near or far. Our gilded paper wreath offers a cheerful welcome to guests at the front door. Fresh spring flowers and clover can be gathered into a showstopping arrangement. And anyone would love to receive a lucky four-leaf clover card in the mail. However you choose to celebrate, make it special by channeling your inner Irishwoman (or man!) and embrace the kelly green.

Wearing green is a given on St. Patrick's Day. This year, craft a dapper little top hat of your own and channel your inner leprechaun: a heart-shaped paper punch produces the cutouts that, when arranged on a paper stem with tape, forms a shamrock shape.
