Celebrate the Irish!
4 Materials
Somehow, St. Patrick's Day seems to always get overlooked. I like to think that the green means that Spring is not far off! So with that in mind, and thinking, I need something new for my front door, I was walking through Dollar Tree and saw this cute hat, but it definitely needed more, so . . . . . .
Everything was from Dollar Tree: a green hat, burlap-wire ribbon, headband, green-white flowers, and green shamrock garland. I didn't use the green garland. So the whole project was $4.00. What a cheap decoration for my front door!
First I dismantled the headband completely. You can see in the above picture the cute plastic straight ribbons, that came off easily and then I just broke off the shamrocks (see side picture) and took the springs off.
I then made the bow using the burlap ribbon and intertwined the plastic straight ribbons with the bow.
I attached one shamrock from the headband and two flowers with hot glue. A ribbon doubled over was hot glued on the inside of the hat as a hanger.
The wire from the bow was poked through the hat, the bow then was securely fastened. One could also hot glue the bow on for added security or just use hot glue by itself.
All that was left was to hang it on my front door! So EASY!
