St. Patrick's Day Mantel


Usually, the only decoration that I put out for St. Patrick's Day is a pot of shamrocks, but this year, I am kicking it up a notch!  With all of the beautiful mantel displays I see in the blog world each holiday, I am loving redecorating mine for each holiday.  


I started by making a shamrocks banner/bunting for my window frame with my Cricut machine.  


Next, I added a shamrock plant and my ceramic rainboots that I have had for years.  I bought this fabulous Green Beer Served Here sign, because you know, the Irish do love their beer.  


Then, I took the rosettes off of the sweater wreath I made for Valentine's Day {tutorial here}, and wrapped some beaded garland around it.  I added a little bucket filled with Irish moss at the last minute.  I have to say, I adore this mantel.  It just makes me smile.
