IY St. Patrick’s Day Rainbow Wreath
Create a bright and colorful wreath for St. Patrick’s Day! This fun DIY wreath uses yarn, felt and lots of gold coins!
Below is the step-by-step tutorial. If you like this wreath, be sure to check out the Easter one I’ll be posting soon!
SUPPLIES NEEDED FOR ST. PATRICK’S DAY WREATH:
Foam wreath form – mine was 11.8″ by FloraCraft
Green glitter
felt – I used a 9″ x 12″ sheet in apple green
Yarn in rainbow colors
Plastic cold coins
Green felt shamrocks
Hot glue
Tape
Step One: Cut the green glitter felt into a “pot of gold” shape using the foam wreath form as a guide. I traced around the bottom half of my wreath form to get started and then trimmed the pot to be about 6″ tall. I cut small divots into each side to shape the pot.
Step Two: Divide the top half of the wreath form into 7 equal parts – one for each color of the rainbow. For my form, this ended up being slightly over 2″ when measured along the inside part of the form.
Start with the red yarn and wrap the yarn around the form tightly. Secure the ends with glue or tape and repeat for all seven colors.
After covering the top half of my form, I decided to extend the red and purple sections down farther since the white form was peeking through the divots I cut out of my pot of gold. I covered the rest of the wreath form with green yarn.
Step Three: Glue the pot of gold onto the wreath form. I used hot glue.
Attach gold coins from the back side of the pot. The gold coins I found at Joann Fabrics were a really light plastic which worked perfectly for this.
Step Four: Decorate the pot of gold with ribbon and
felt shamrocks. Add a small hanging loop to the top of the wreath with green yarn.
The St. Patrick’s Day wreath is finished! Yay! I love how cute and colorful this wreath turned out. It was fairly easy to make and was a great use for some of my yarn stash. Wrapping the yarn around the wreath form was the most time consuming part of this wreath – a great activity to do while catching up on your Netflix shows :)
