St. Patrick’s Day Clothespin Wreath

Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with a DIY Reversible Wreath. This easy wreath will help you Transform your decor from Valentine’s to St. Patrick’s Day with a reversible wreath. Learn to create this festive, budget-friendly decoration.

Transition from Valentine’s to St. Patrick’s Day with Ease

Now that Valentine’s Day has passed, it’s time to focus on St. Patrick’s Day. I’m excited to share how to transform the DIY Valentine’s Clothespin Wreath into a vibrant St. Patrick’s Day decoration. This wreath, full of shamrocks and hues of green and white, is not only eye-catching but also incredibly versatile.

Why a Reversible Wreath is Amazing

The best part? This wreath serves a dual purpose. After Valentine’s Day, simply flip the clothespins, switch the embellishments, and voilà – your wreath is now a St. Patrick’s Day masterpiece. This transformation is not only fun but also cost-effective.

Crafting on a Budget: Supplies You’ll Need

To create this festive wreath, you’ll need:

• 8 different St. Patrick’s themed papers (think greens and shamrocks)
• 8 different Valentine’s themed papers (reds, pinks, and whites)
• 98 wood clothespins
• Mod Podge
• An 18″ box wire wreath frame (available at craft stores like JoAnn)
• Various embellishments (hearts, flowers, clovers)
• Wire or string for attaching embellishments
• Paper cutter or scissors, and a brush for the Mod Podge

Step-by-Step Guide to Your Festive Wreath

1. Start by cutting the paper into strips to fit the clothespins (about 3 1/4 inches long and 3/8 inch wide).

2. Apply Mod Podge to attach the paper to the clothespins, then let them dry. Work on one holiday side at a time for ease.

3. Next, arrange the decorated clothespins on the wire frame, alternating patterns for a playful look.

4. Finally, add your embellishments using wire or string, ensuring they’re easily removable for when you flip the wreath.

Displaying Your Wreath

Now, your reversible wreath is ready to hang and bring festive cheer to your home. It’s a simple, enjoyable craft that adds a personalized touch to holiday decor.

I just love this wreath, especially because I can use it for more than a month.  2-in-1 is always better when it comes to holiday decor!
