Happiness Is Homemade – St Patrick’s Day on Spring

Welcome to Happiness is Homemade! Thank you for sharing, and I can’t wait to see what you have to share in this week’s party!

Maria over at Krafty Planner shared these fabulous free planner printables for March. She included a March calendar, daily planner page, habit tracker, and a memory page. I love the St. Patrick’s Day theme!

If you’re looking for some inspiration for a St. Patrick’s Day tablescape, Debbee of Debbee’s Buzz shared several ideas in this post. She included several napkin folding and placement ideas, like a shamrock fold, and a tutorial for adorable DIY shamrock glasses!

These St. Patrick’s Day cake pops made by Rose from Rose Bakes look so yummy and even have gold chocolate coins inserted into them. You would be mom of the year if you brought these cuties to your child’s classroom on St. Patrick’s Day!

Shelley over at Calypso in the Country shared some great ideas for decorating your door for spring. I love this tulip filled basket! She also shared door hangers that can be used on the inside of your door, more outdoor ideas, and if you don’t have time to make your own, she rounded up some pretty door hangers that you can buy.

I am absolutely in love with this bunny sign made by Leeanna of Pretty DIY Home! It’s a vintage hare drawing drawn on fabric using her Cricut. I’ve been looking for a long sign for my dining room and Dollar Tree has a size in their $5 section that I could paint and attach a drawing like this to. If you don’t have a Cricut, you can check out several of my tutorials that show you how to create signs without one and combine that with Leeanna’s tutorial!

DIY Lucky Shamrock Sign Paper Craft

You may look for some easy-to-make Saint Patrick’s Day craft to do with your kids. The one that cute enough to be used as your lucky shamrock decoration. Well, I have this idea that you may like to try; A DIY Lucky Shamrock Sign Paper Craft. It’s easy to make with easy material to find and cute result! Scroll down as you can find steps I did to make this Saint Patrick’s decoration from paper base materials.

Things To Prepare

If you have some stacks of colorful paper straws, then you’re lucky! You can straight away and do this lucky shamrock paper craft. You can play with pattern and even the color of the paper straws, as long as it looks like pretty rainbow. Just use whatever you have in your craft stash. Let’s see what are the list supplies which used to make this DIY Lucky Shamrock Sign Paper Craft :

  • Used – thick paper (mine is paper from a table calendar)
  • White card paper
  • Green crepe paper
  • Colorful rainbow paper straws
  • Gold ribbon
  • Double Foam Tape
  • Clear glue

How To Make

This paper craft is easy to do and cute for the Saint Patrick’s Day decoration. Follow these easy steps on how to do DIY Lucky Shamrock Sign Paper Craft :

1 . I recycle a calendar paper and cut it as a base for the shamrock sign. I cut it in a length of 24 paper straws times half length of a straw plus a little mountain as a base to the shamrocks.

2. Cut all straws into two. I used 8 colors of straws; pink, red, dark blue, light blue, green, yellow, orange and purple. I used 3 cut-straws on each color. So, the total is 24 straws (half straw), from 8 different colors. Glue one by one. Try to arrange pop-out color to less pop-out color, side by side.

3. Now, cut a rectangle shape along the mountain to raise the shamrock by pasting a foam tape. But before, cut green crepe paper in lucky shamrock shape.

4. Then you paste it one by one until it looks lush and pretty.

5. Make letters L, u, c, k, y by using a white card paper. Paste it one the middle of the rainbow straws by using foam tape.

6. Add some blings to add some shines by appling gold ribbon as a hanger and on the front rainbow straws. Don’t forget to add a little gold ribbon bow in the middle. Cute!

Easy paper craft to do with your kids for the Saint Patrick’s decoration. Cheap and easy to find material, just perfect for simple lucky shamrock craft. The lucky shamrock, the rainbow straws and the gold ribbon are complete elements for the Saint Patrick’s Day. Happy crafting!

DIY 3D Shamrock

Saint Patrick’s Day is just a few weeks to come. Some of you may already busy preparing green at home. Stay in budget and lower it down by doing some DIYs and even some upcycled Saint Patrick decoration. And for that, I’m going to share my DIY 3D Shamrock from upcycling some seashells.

It’s an easy DIYs and very cheap too. Easy because the steps are less and easy to do; plus the main material is from upcycled seashells. save some seashells after you enjoy them in your meal and make it into a nice Saint Patrick’s clover. Well, as for me, I always keep different seashells I had after my shells meal. You don’t know when are you going to need them for your craft projects.

Things To Prepare

It is a list of craft supplies you can easily get or even have at home, sitting somewhere in your craft room. Like I always say, you can always substitute my material with things that you have but similar, just be creative with it. Especially this is an upcycled project, more upcycled supplies is better. By the way, things I used for my DIY 3D Shamrock are :

  • Three pairs of seashells
  • Green paint ( I used spray paint to get a smoother finish)
  • Green checkerboard ribbon
  • Green flower wire
  • Hot glue
  • A white mini pot with white gravels

How To Make

It is an easy upcycled seashells project for Saint Patrick’s Day decoration. A DIY 3D Shamrock in a cute little white pot. It goes great with minimalistic home decor. Okay, this is a step by step tutorial on how I made my DIY 3D Shamrock from seashells :

1 .Make sure you have clean your seashells before you use it for the project. Take a flower wire and bend it into two and leave a loop on top. The loop will be the area for the seashells to be put together and form a clover.

2 .Glue each pair of seashells on the wire loop and form a shamrock by using hot glue gun. Let it set for a while until it’s firm.

3 .Paint the seashells shamrock with green spray paint.

4 .Take a green checkerboard ribbon and tie a a bow with a shape of a lucky clover which means the shamrock ribbon should have four sides.

5. Take a white little pot and fill it with small white gravels. Take the seashell shamrock and insert it into the pot. And you’re done with your Saint Patrick’s Shamrock from seashell.

My DIY 3D Shamrock will also look fantastic in plain gold or even green and gold pattern. It will be your taste to decide or what color or pattern do you want to pair your Saint Patrick decor with this year. Let’s bring some luck into your home!

DIY Shamrocks From Seashells

Spring is coming and some celebrates Saint Patrick’s Day. One of the related things to Saint Patrick’s Day that I fond most is shamrock! Lucky shamrock it is! Well, since I haven’t found any, I just make the regular shamrocks, but not from regular supply. I made shamrocks from seashells.

I made two looks of the shamrocks, one was natural look of the seashells, where I didn’t paint the seashells and combine it with burlap rope to add more natural look. The other was the natural look of the shamrock, which is green, so I painted the seashells with green. To give the Saint Patrick’s Day vibes, I gave very light green color. But the shamrocks decoration can be used to decorate your home for entire spring season too.

Picture63

Things To Prepared

I always try to make easy DIY which need no difficult supplies so most of you can easily make it yourself.

  • Seashells ( I used clams to get a better and similar look to shamrock leaves)
  • Popsicle sticks
  • Burlap rope
  • Green and white acrylic paint
  • UHU glue

Picture60

How To Make

It took only six easy steps to make this diy shamrocks from seashells. Let me explain here.

  1. Make a panel by using popsicle sticks. You can replace it with wooden panel of the size if you have any.
  2. Paint the popsicle sticks panels, each with different background. For the natural seashells look, paint it in green and white. For the natural shamrocks look, paint the panels in white. All of that to give a nice contrast between the popsicle sticks panel as the background and the seashells shamrock as the focal point.
  3. Clean and dry off the seashells. Find the seashells with bright colors, even tone and with the same size.
  4. Take three clams and painted it in light green to get the shamrock color. Let it dry.
  5. Take the natural seashells in amount of three and glue it on the white and green panel. Then draw the stalk with brush.
  6. Use the three green seashells and glue it on the white panel. Apply the burlap rope as the stalk.

Picture62

My diy seashells shamrock decoration needs only easy skill and regular craft supplies. It would not be difficult for you to make.  Clams are easy seashells to find and delicious to eat. So, it would be great re-purposing project too.
