March 17, 2016 by Stefanie Girard

shamrock ribbon woven 1

St. Patrick’s Day is a festive holiday that many people look forward to each year. Whether you’re Irish or not, it’s a time to celebrate the culture and traditions of Ireland. One way to add a touch of St. Patrick’s Day decor to your home is by creating a ribbon shamrock. This simple DIY project can be made with just a few materials and is a fun activity to do with family or friends.

As you may already know, shamrocks are a type of clover plant that is known for its three-leaf structure. The term “shamrock” comes from the Irish word “seamróg,” which means “little clover.”

Shamrocks are commonly associated with Ireland and are often used as a symbol of St. Patrick’s Day. According to legend, St. Patrick used shamrock to explain the concept of the Holy Trinity to the Irish people.

Today, shamrocks are still a popular symbol of Irish culture and are often used in St. Patrick’s Day decorations and festivities.

With that in mind, I hope you all have a fun “green” day for it. As a recycled crafter we pretty much are green everyday 🙂

This little ribbon shamrock is the perfect little project to whip up today, perfect to finish off your outfit or embellish a gift.

Pop on over to the blog Potlucks on the Porch for the step-by-step tutorial on how to make a St. Patrick’s Day ribbon shamrock.
