I wanted to share the few decorations I’ve made for St. Patty’s Day!

I used my same grapevine wreath I’ve been using since last summer!  I just tear off (sometimes it’s a struggle, hehe) the previous decor and hot glue new on.

I didn’t have enough green felt so I grabbed 8 pieces at Hobby Lobby for $2.00.  The Leprechaun and the greenery I got at Michaels for under $2.00!!!  I used a cup, a bowl, and a wine glass to cut my circles out for the felt flowers.  One day I’ll show a tutorial…lol!  I then hot glued them on the wreath and stuck the Leprechaun and the greenery in the wreath w/out gluing so I can save those for next year!

Now…my favorite part of the decor!!  My Mantel.  I used some things that I’ll be able to use all of Spring so it’s not just for this month!

 

 

I used the same chalkboard vase (wine bottle) I used for Valentine’s Day…just wrote “Lucky” on it and drew a few clovers on it.

Next I used a mini wine bottle and painted it Satin Green Apple (by Rust-oleum).  2 coats and it was DONE!  The best part is this vase will be good for Spring too!!

The vase fillers…..I liked the St. Patty’s day greenery so much I went back to Michaels and got 3 more things.  All still under $2.00!  These were actually cheaper $1.26!  I cut the carnations to fit the larger vase and then just bent those and the shamrocks to my liking.

When I was at Home Depot getting my green apple paint I fell in LOVE with this other paint and HAD to get it!!  It’s good for St. Patty’s Day (sorta..lol!), Spring, Summer and Fall!!  Heck some people even work it in for winter!  It’s called Satin Lagoon (by Rust-oleum again).  Isn’t it pretty??

Ok ok…so you can’t really tell in that picture but it’s such a pretty teal!  We had friends over last year and we were ummmm drinking…lol!  Well I asked her to leave the empty bottle.  It was all curvy and neat looking.  So like 6 months later I peeled the label off, goo-goned the sticky, used paint lacquer to clean the goo off then painted it this LOVELY color (did you know I don’t paint the bottoms…why waste time and paint?!!?!)!!  It’s still kinda hard to see how pretty the color is but it’s definitely one of my favs!

So you see that frame there.  Well I got it at a local thrift shop for $1.99, brand new too!!  So I got 2 cream ones and 2 navy ones for that price each.  Figured I’d use them somehow and paint if needed!  All I did was google shamrock and found this cute one.  I resized it to fit my frame and printed it on cardstock and cut to the frame size.

So there you have it!  My St. Patty’s day decor that will lead the way into Spring.  I can’t wait to add some yellows and pinks in there!  Maybe i’ll chevron paint the teal bottle with a pink!  Oooooh, and a real pretty white flower will look awesome in it!

Don’t forget to wear your green March 17th!!
