Happy St. Patrick’s Day everyone! Are you Irish? Today you are! Not only is it great to be Irish (actually or just for today), it’s great to be a crafter during National Craft Month. We’ve been celebrating all month long by bringing you a new project and giveaway everyday. I hope you’ve been enjoying our series. By this point, you probably know that you can participate and enter to win by simply leaving us a comment under the project of the day. It’s that easy! Check out our free craft, leave us a comment and you could win an awesome prize. We like to keep it simple here at the FaveCrafts Blog.
And because we’re all in the mood for a little green, let’s make a quick (super last minute) project you can wear in your hair today. If this little piece doesn’t bring you the luck of the Irish, we don’t know what will (maybe it’s time to search for that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow?) Let’s get started on this super quick project.

I think the Shamrock hair clip is cute. It would make a sweet pin. We have green jello in wineglasses for a dessert to celebrate the day.
Well my st. Pattys day was nothing special this year. The kids and I ended up cleaning house. And the hubby mixed tje lawn until the mower broke. Hope you all had a great day.
yes I do celebrate St. Pat’s Day by always making cornedbeef and cabbage for supper. I can remember when we would have my whole family around the table enjoying the dinner.
I been told I have some Irish Blood but don’t need to be told I love celbrating with my senior group, we always have a Pot LUCK lunch,usually with a green coloured dessert
I realized late in the day that I was knitting in green…thoght it rather odd and funny….had no corned beef and cabbage as didn’t feel well, so drank smoothies…no they were not green:) Thanks:)
Seeing my grandson “Patrick” home from an 8 month sea duty aboard the USS John Yemenis air craft carrier.
I wear green. Thats about it!!! Still a fun holiday
Getting my brother drunk on green beer the night before his stag, He screamed the next morning when his tongue was green. and suffered the whole day.
We had the full corned beef, cabbage & bacon, mashed potatoes, whiskey cream gravy. Then, with dessert, had Irish Cream on the rocks. And, of course, I wore green and had my nails painted Kelly Green.
As a teacher, I always have my students do something special for St. Patrick’s Day. I love how excited they get and then I get excited too.
yes we celebrate by going to the local church’s corned beef fundraiser…
On St. Patrick’s day I make grilled ruban sandwich’s. Corned beef brisket slow cooked in a crock pot until fork tender, then I shred it like pulled pork, slap it between 2 slices of rye bread with Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and thousand Island dressing. Grill it. Eat with a dill pickle. Yum!
Ah, never have, never will
We have a month long celebration here in Dublin, Ga. Green everywhere all month long!
YES! I celebrate and get the whole family and the pets involved! Many happy St. Pat’s memories!
I don’t celebrate St. Patrick’s day,but wear green so I won’t get pinched if I don’t forget.
We are not Irish but we have corned beef, cabbage and potatoes every year. Tried making green cupcakes this year.
