A Dash of Irish Charm: St. Patrick's Day Decoration

If you need a quick little festive touch for your St. Patrick's Day festivities a simple shamrock banner adds just the right touch without going over the top with green glitter and gold. I made this simple one last year and used it again this year and along with some spring blooms my home looks ready for the 17th and a table full of corned beef and potatoes. With little cost and 10 minutes you can made one too!

Supplies

green card stock paper

hole punch

twine

shamrock print out (mine measures about 3 inches)

scissors

pencil

Directions

1. Cut out the shamrock print out and use the shamrock as a stencil to trace the desired amount of shamrocks out. I spaced mine out a bit but its up to you how full you want your banner to be. 

2. Cut out the traced shamrocks, punch a hole in the top, and string shamrocks onto the twine. 

This banner took me no more that 10 minutes to make once I had gathered my supplies and are such a fun way to decorate for St. Patrick's Day. This same idea works well for hearts on Valentine's Day, chicks, eggs, or bunnies for Easter, or a pumpkin for Halloween.
