St. Patrick's Day Crafts to Try This Month

Mar 2nd 2023

St. Patrick’s Day falls on March 17, and now that Valentine’s Day is behind us, it will be here before we know it! Yes, it’s true - St. Patrick's Day is almost here and it's time to start thinking about how you can bring the festivities into your home!

Whether you're looking for a way to add some fun and color to your decor or just want to create something special with your kids, this article has plenty of craft ideas that are perfect for St. Patrick's Day celebrations. So grab your supplies and get ready to make these fun ideas for a creative day of crafting!

DIY Shamrock Garland

Garlands aren’t just for the winter holidays! Made with simple materials like cardstock and pipe cleaners, this DIY shamrock garland can be put together in just a few minutes and is a fun and unique way to celebrate St. Paddy’s Day. Shamrocks are known to be one of the most iconic symbols of St. Patrick’s Day, so shamrock crafts just make sense!

To make your own shamrock garland, you will need:

  • Green cardstock (multiple shades if possible)
  • Other colors of cardstock (optional)
  • Scissors
  • Pipe cleaners
  • Hot glue gun
  • Glue sticks

First, cut the green cardstock into shamrock shapes. You can use a template or freehand the shapes depending on what you prefer. You can easily find shamrock art templates online.

Once you have your shamrocks cut out, it's time to assemble the garland and put all the pieces together. First, poke a hole in the top center of each shamrock so you can thread through them easily. Next, take a pipe cleaner and thread it through the center of each shamrock. If you're using multiple colors of cardstock, alternate the colors as you thread them onto the pipe cleaner.

Once all of the shamrocks are attached to the garland, twist the ends of the pipe cleaner together to secure them in place. Finally, use hot glue to attach the garland to any surface you want to decorate - try hanging it on your mantel, doorframe, or window for your own unique DIY St. Patrick’s Day decorations!

End Of The Rainbow Streamer Wreath

Looking for a fun and festive St. Patrick's Day craft to try this month? We found this beautiful multicolored streamer wreath for you at the end of the rainbow, right next to the pots of gold!

This easy craft is perfect for kids of all ages and can be done in just a few minutes. Plus, it's a great way to add some color and decoration to your home for the holiday. Here's what you'll need:

  • 1 roll of green streamers
  • 1 roll of orange streamers
  • 1 roll of yellow streamers
  • 1 roll of purple streamers
  • Scissors
  • Tape or Glue

First, carefully cut each color of the streamers into 12 inch strips using scissors. Next, take one strip of each color and tie them together in the center. Make sure to leave enough slack so that you can form a loop with the streamer strips.

Once you have all four colors tied together, begin forming a loop by threading the end of one strip through the center of the bundle. Continue until all the strips are looped through and you have formed a wreath shape. Finally, secure the ends with tape or glue and hang your wreath up for everyone to see! You can add additional decorations, like glitter if you prefer.

Popsicle Stick Leprechaun

If you’re looking for a project that appeals to kids of all ages that will make for a fun St. Patrick’s Day activity, try making this cute St Patrick’s Day popsicle stick leprechaun! (There are a lot of crafts you can make with popsicle sticks; in fact, we even wrote an article about how to make DIY popsicle stick apple cores for autumn.)

This charming little character is sure to bring a smile to your face, and he's surprisingly simple to make. All you need to make this project are a few basic supplies and a bit of creativity. You probably won’t even need to make a trip to the craft store, unless you need to buy some silicone sealant - but don’t worry, silicone sealant can be used in a wide variety of DIY projects, so it’s well worth picking up!

Here’s what you’ll need to make your very own popsicle stick leprechaun:

  • Popsicle sticks

Silicone Sealant or another strong adhesive

  • Paint (any colors you want to use to paint your leprechaun and his clothes)
  • Something small to use as the leprechaun’s head (a plastic or wooden bead works well)

Once you have all of your supplies ready, it's time to start assembling your leprechaun!

Begin by fastening two popsicle sticks together using RTV Silicone Sealant/Adhesive at the base to form the leprechaun's body. Then, add the head on top of the body, using more sealant to secure it in place.

Once the head is in place, you can start decorating your leprechaun however you like. Use paint or markers to give him a face, clothes, and any other details you want. You can even add on paper clothes on top if you prefer that look more. Get creative and have fun!

When you're finished decorating your leprechaun, set him aside to dry. Once he's dry, he'll be ready to display proudly on your mantel or shelf.

Print Out Coloring Pages

For an incredibly simple and easy craft you can do at home with minimal materials, try printing out some themed coloring pages for you and your kids. Coloring is not just fun but relaxing, and it’s an activity that the whole family can partake in together! All you’ll need for this basic project is some printable coloring pages and some crayons, markers, vibrant pens, or colored pencils.

Don’t have any St. Patrick’s Day coloring books? Don’t worry; you don’t need coloring books to color. There are countless festive coloring pages online, from leprechaun hats to shamrocks and more, so use your favorite search engine to find what’s out there to color!

If you’re feeling extra creative, you can even draw your own coloring sheets with thick marker outlines and color them in yourself.

Printing out coloring pages isn’t just an easy St. Patrick’s Day craft for kids. While you’ll likely find some fun and festive coloring sheets for your kids, you might even also stumble upon some St. Patrick’s Day coloring sheets designed for adults, like mandalas or more intricate designs.
