St. Patrick's Day Wreath

Happy St. Patrick's Day! 

I found a crafty way to celebrate! My sister is always in need of seasonal decor for her salon, so I made this fun, super easy wreath. I took a trip to my local Hobby Lobby and gathered my supplies. I got my four rolls of tulle for 50% off, thank you clearance aisle! I had the straight pins leftover from the Valentine's Day Wreath that I made for Catherine and my mom. I chose a straw wreath form over a styrofoam one because it was about half of the price ($4.50 vs. $8.99). 

Supplies

Straw or styrofoam wreath form (I got straw b/c it was cheaper)

4 rolls green tulle (3 dark green, 1 light green)

scissors

straight pins or glue

St. Patty's decorations

How to...

First, I prepared my wreath decorations. I had decided on the letters for "Lucky" on sparkly foam shamrocks. I painted the small wooden letters white, waited for them to dry, and then glued them onto the foam letters.

Then, I took my tulle and cut it into ~17 inch strips. Then I tied the strips around the wreath form. I alternated 3 green and then one light green strip. I tied them all the way around, scrunching them together as I went to make them tightly spaced together. I ended up using one full spool of light green tulle and about 2 and a half spools of the darker green. 

When I was done tying the tulle onto the wreath form, it looked like this:

Then, I attached the foam shamrocks to the wreath. I used both straight pins and glue. 

Finished product! Ta-da! 

So excited for this to be hanging in my sister's salon! 

Happy St. Patrick's Day and National Crafting Month to all!
