I’ve got a theme going on for St. Patrick’s Day this year. So far everything I’ve made has been a garland! This glitter shamrock garland came about a couple of years ago when I found out that JoAnn Fabric was going to be a sponsor for SnapConf 2015. I was so excited because JoAnn is one of my favorite places to shop. (And, BTW, was also one of my first employers WAY back in my college days.) I had a couple of free hours so I went there to just walk up and down the aisles for inspiration. That’s when the glitter on these shamrocks caught my eye.

How to Make the Shamrock Garland
I combined the glittery shamrocks and some jute twine
with the leftover frayed edge burlap ribbon
that Feliz gave me when we were loading up at the last Antique Alley. Hot glue is holding everything together so it’s a pretty easy project.
- One: Cut burlap ribbon. The size depends on the size of your shamrocks. I’ll measure the next time I make this.
- Two: Fold over the end of the ribbon and use hot glue to stick it to the jute string.
- Three: Glue the shamrocks onto the center of each piece of ribbon
See… wasn’t that easy?
But if you can’t find these glitter shamrocks, I’ll share how to make this same St. Patrick’s Day garland with felt and burlap ribbon on our Facebook page soon. I’ll add the video here when we’re done.

What a great and simple project Ann! Those shamrocks are really nice but what you did with them is super cute. No one wants to invest much in holidays like St. Pats, so this is the perfect moment…low cost, low time and high impact for a couple of weeks. Thanks for bringing this to the St. Patrick’s Day Link Party!
Carol ("Mimi") says
This is such a cute garland. It’s so simple and yet so effective in the way that you staged the garland in the picture frame. Great addition to your St. Patrick’s Day vignette!

Hello! I just wanted to let you know you are a feature on my blog this week for Thursday Favorite Things! I love this little garland! I am going to make a similar one. You should take a look at the garland I shared in my Early Spring Home Tour. It has been very popular with my readers. I got it at Hobby Lobby but I know you could make one!
I hope you will come over and say hello and party with us again this week. Happy Spring!
