Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with some fun crafts and activities! Make shamrocks, leprechauns, and other creative Irish themed projects to add some luck and color to the holiday. These ideas are great for both kids and adults.<\/p>\n

Horseshoe Craft\u00a0<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n

\"st<\/p>\n

Our new wooden horshoe plaques<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0are perfect for St. Patrick’s Day because they respresent luck! Paint a fun design like this one using acrylic paint, then add a green ribbon and hang it as a decoration.<\/p>\n

Leprechaun Mask\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"st<\/p>\n

Lucas is showing off a leprechaun mask also made by Crafty Kate. Using simple\u00a0animal masks<\/a><\/strong>, color the face lightly with acrylic paint. Then make the beard by pulling apart a large orange puff ball<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0and gluing the pieces to the mask. Don’t forget the eyebrows!\u00a0The hat can be made using green, black, and yellow construction paper<\/a><\/strong>. For a fun activity, have each person\u00a0make and design their own leprechaun, then have a contest based on certain categories, such as Longest Beard, Most Creative Hat, and Funniest.<\/p>\n

Luck of the Irish Keychain\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"st<\/p>\n

Make keychains<\/a> using different assortments of beads! You can use star beasds and any kind of green beads you’d like. We used these pony beads which you can get in individual colors with 2 options for green, or get a pack of assorted beads and use the green, yellow, and orange. Then use\u00a0letter beads to spell out your St. Patrick’s Day saying. We chose “Luck of the Irish”. This is a fun classroom activity idea, and the finished keychains can even be used for a special holiday fundraiser. We also love these metallic beads that look like gold, and this sea glass assorment can be a fun way to use different shades of green!<\/p>\n
