How to Decorate Your Home for St Patrick's Day without spending a lot of money
I was really excited to challenge myself to not spend a bunch of money as I decorated for St. Patrick's Day.
St Patrick's Day Centerpiece
I bought a piece of green glitter foam on clearance at Hobby Lobby for $.25. I hand cut shamrocks from it. If you can't find green glitter foam on clearance, you can get some here or foam shamrocks here.
Then I used cardstock, stickers, ribbon and thin dowels to make Shamrock sticks. I put real eucalyptus in a vase I already had and stuck the sticks in.
St Patrick's Day Mantel
The base is a DIY chicken wire message board that I also used for Valentine's Day. Then I added a bunch of banners.
Inspired by a banner I saw at Target, I decided to make a gold LUCKY banner. I bought 1 piece of gold poster paper for $1.19. If you can't find it in a store near you, you can get mirror board paper here. I used it to cut out shamrocks and "lucky" letters with my die cut machine. I also cut green shamrocks from cardstock and strung the green and gold on cotton string.
I made an old-school rainbow paper chain by cutting strips of paper, 4 in x 1/2 in, then stapled them.
The other shamrock wooden and wire banner is one I've for so long that I don't even remember where I got it.
I seem to use my candlesticks made from old spindles every chance I get.
I love to see the mantel with the table centerpiece.
I added a few small touches to our farmhouse shelving unit.
To a large jar of eucalyptus I added some rainbow ribbons and wooden shamrocks my kids painted a few years back. See a tutorial to make the black name sign here.
Decorating your home for the holidays does not have to be expensive. I did all of my St Patricks Day Decorations for only $2.
