St Patrick’s Day Charcuterie Board

 Remember the Valentine’s Day “candy-cuterie” board I shared? I was loving it so much I created one for St. Patrick’s Day too!  Greens, rainbows & golds, oh my!  This one was from a few years ago and I’m already planning another one for this year and I can’t wait to surprise my kids…be sure you’re following along on instagram so you can see all the behind the scenes of building it and the final result.  A charcuterie board filled with festive sweets…can’t wait!

St Patrick’s Day Inspo

I gathered up some photos throughout the last few St. Patrick’s Days for a little inspiration to 

get us in the mood for this coming holiday!

 

Happy St Patrick’s Day

May the road rise up to meet you,

May the wind be always at your back. 

May the sun shine warm upon your face; 

the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again, 

may God hold you in the palm of His hand.

St. Patricks Day Decor

I kind of hate that Easter is so close to St Patrick's Day.  The Irish in me loves to decorate for it, but Easter is just so much bigger and more adorable!  So I compromise by throwing up some green decor and take it down with plenty of time to enjoy Easter decorations.  So here's just the little bit I put up this year.  Find the printable here & the LUCKY tutorial here.

LUCKY Festive Decoration

Here's a super festive St Patrick's Day decoration to make a statement. 

Gather your supplies:

-paper mache letters (Hobby Lobby)

-green paint

-glue

Start by painting the edge of the letters, just freehand with a paintbrush. then when dry evenly coat the top of the letters with glue and sprinkle with glitter and let dry. And you're done! Enjoy your luck of the Irish sparkly decor!

Rainbow Tassel Garland

Here's a re-post of a fun St Patricks Day decoration that's too fun not to share again!

This fun & colorful rainbow tassel garland (complete with "clouds") is perfect for any St. Patricks day party or decor to bring in the luck of the Irish!

 How to make your tassels:

1. Lay out 1 sheet of tissue paper.

2. Fold "hamburger" style. 

3. Fold it the same way again.

4. And one more time the same way.

5. Now fold in half the other way.

6. Pin the top folded side with 2 clothes pins to help keep things in place and cut the side folds 1 1/2" from the top.

7. Cut/fringe- only up 1 1/2" from the top. 

8. Un-fold once, then roll up.

9. Twist tight until it curls up on itself and makes a "loop."

& repeat!

10. String onto ribbon or bakers twine.
