Materials:
- Wreath Base
- Green Mesh Ribbon
- Twine
- Embellishments- Green, white and yellow felt, Green and White silk flowers, Clover Confetti, Shamrock or Regular Green Fabric Yo Yos
- Glue gun
- Scissors
Steps:
- Wrap a 6 inch piece of twine around your wreath base or insert into the wreath base if wire or vine before decorating. Knot the ends together.
- Wrap the ribbon around the base, doubling over by half as you go to completely cover the wreath base.
- When you are satisfied with the way it looks, cut off the ribbon and glue down with a dot of hot glue. Press down gently.
- Now you can decorate. Here are some ideas:
- Cut out shamrock shapes from pieces of green felt and glue to the wreath with a small dot of glue in the center. For an even better look, create a border around the shape in a different color of felt such as white or yellow.
- Hot glue large, green metallic clover confetti evenly around your wreath. Create small groups of three with different colors of green confetti.
- If using a Styrofoam base, you can stick small white rosettes or other silk flowers into the base through the ribbon. Or use pins.
- Secure shamrock yo-yos to the base with hot glue or pins. If you use pins, you can reuse the yo-yos for other projects.
- Use painted wood letters to spell out the Irish version of cheers, Slainte!
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
