St. Patrick’s Day is just around the corner. It is a fun day to celebrate Irish culture. In order to make the event more meaningful for your loved ones, prepare fun activities that involve creating St. Patrick’s Day crafts.
Pot of Gold Treats
Part of the Irish culture is the belief that leprechauns direct one to find a pot of gold at the rainbow’s end. You can make St. Patrick’s Day more enjoyable by asking your loved ones to decorate some pots with clover leaves and put yummy treats such as candies or chocolates covered in gold foil.
Flower Pot
Aside from decorating pots of gold treats, you can also ask your loved ones to paint pots into leprechaun hats. Then you can ask them to help in arranging some flowers in the leprechaun hat pots and use them as decorations.
Wreaths
Make the atmosphere more festive by decorating each door with different wreaths. You may use shrubs or pieces of craft paper to make clover leaf-inspired wreaths. If you have fabrics in various shades of green, you can also ask your loved ones to create a wreath out of them. Allow each one to make their door decoration according to their preference.
Head Pieces
A party is not complete without party hats or headbands. The celebration feels more fun when each one wears an accessory that symbolizes the holiday. Give your loved ones an option to create hats or headpieces that incorporate elements of St. Patrick’s Day such as the color green, clover leaves, and shamrock.
Loot Bags
Prepare gift bags with “gold” coins and other surprises and give them as gifts or prizes for games you have put together for your loved ones.
Day Cards
Holidays are just some of those days when family members gather together. Have your loved ones prepare St. Patrick’s Day cards for friends and family. Maybe, you can also ask family members to prepare cards ahead of time and give them to your loved ones to ease the longing and isolation they may feel. This is a good way to remind them that they are cared for.
Banner
A decoration is incomplete without banners. To make everyone more involved in the celebration, ask your loved ones to help each other in designing and making the perfect banners for St. Patrick’s Day.
Knitted Wear
For those who love to knit, you may ask them to create wearables inspired by the colors and elements of St. Patrick’s Day. They may knit shawls, sweaters, or bucket hats and wear them during the celebration.
Day Pin
Not everyone is capable of crafting. The simple thing to do is to make St. Patrick’s Day pin for them a shamrock or cloverleaf design for a touch of luck.
There are a lot of crafts you can prepare to make St. Patrick’s Day more festive and memorable. Make sure that your loved ones are capable of doing the activities before you ask them to participate. You may want to celebrate the occasion with other enjoyable activities as well. Treat them to a hefty meal, thereafter.
