Everyone's lucky on St. Patrick's Day. Here are some inexpensive, creative ideas for cute crafts.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • green craft foam
  • green glitter
  • shamrock stickers
  • imagination!
  1. Step 1

    Think rainbows! Rainbow crafts are adorable for St. Patty's Day and are easy to make using any available craft supplies. Don't forget the pot of gold at the end! Colored sidewalk chalk on black construction paper is one way to create fun rainbows for St. Patrick's Day.

  2. Step 2

    Leprechaun hats are another easy St. Patrick's Day craft idea and can be assembled with green craft foam. You'll need three pieces for the bottom, sides, and top. Add a black buckle and green glitter details.

  3. Step 3

    Consider pre-assembled St. Patrick's Day craft kits. Companies like Oriental Trading are a great place to check for kits (like the Leprechaun Cottage, pictured) that are inexpensive and easy.

  4. Step 4

    Four-leaf clovers are another fun craft idea. Have kids go on a four-leaf clover hunt, also collecting some three-leaf clovers. Press the flowers for a few days until they are dry, and kids can make lucky shamrock pictures.

Tips & Warnings
  • serve Lucky Charms and green punch for a fun Irish snack during craft time... or gold chocolate coins!
