What would St. Patrick’s Day be without a healthy dose of emerald green and at least a touch of gold? We’ve taken a peek into the One Charming Party archives for plenty of great green and gold printables and project ideas that are sure to bring a little luck to whatever special St. Patrick’s Day festivities you’re planning this year.
Your child will feel extra lucky on St. Patrick’s Day with these fun felt pins. No need to worry about finding a green shirt, simply pin one of these on for instant safety from being pinched on St. Patrick’s Day!
You will need: “It’s my lucky day” printable and templates, craft felt, bar pins, tacky glue or glue gun
First, cut out the “lucky” circles with a 2 inch circle punch. Then cut out the template shapes. Next, use the template to cut shapes out of your craft felt. Glue your shapes together in whatever combinations you want. Don’t be afraid to mix it up and try different combinations. Once your felt is glues together, glue a bar pin on the back. Let the glue completely dry.
You can also use this idea as a great party activity. Have all of the children make their own pins and then trade with each other for a fun collection of lucky pins to take home.
Lucky little four leaf clover bags make an adorable accessory for any event that needs a little extra green. Whether they are filled with delicious gold coins as St. Patrick’s Day favors or as prizes at the end of a treasure hunt, these cute bags are a must have for this year’s celebration.
You will need: 3×4 inch muslin bags, freezer paper, clover craft punch, acrylic craft paint (most supplies can be found at craft stores, like Michael’s Craft)
Directions: Punch a clover out of a piece of freezer paper. With a clothes iron, iron the freezer paper square, wax side down, onto your muslin bag. Place a scrap piece of paper inside your muslin bag to prevent the paint from soaking onto the back. Paint over the clover punch. Peel off the freezer paper and allow your bag to dry.
You can make as many clover prints on your bag as you want, just repeat the instructions above and allow the paint to dry in between each clover. This same idea can be repeated on a bigger tote, shirt, scarf or basically anything you might want to wear on St. Patrick’s Day!
Chartreuse, lime, olive, mint, kelly … there are just as many wonderful shades of green as there are paper goods and craft supplies in this fresh color. Check out this collection of gorgeous green goodies (and a lucky four leaf clover, too), which are just the thing for creating springtime gift packages and tags, party favors, St. Patrick’s Day treats, and handmade cards and crafts galore!
Print out the printables. Cut out the four leaf clovers and use as the clues for the treasure hunt. Wrap the Pot O’ Gold wrap around a ice cream cup and fill the cup with your gold coins and treasures. Make a Pot O’ Gold for each child. Hide your four leaf clovers and let your little leprechauns go hunt for their gold!
