Get creative with your St. Patty's day table! Here's
an idea for a casual table from a "host your own table" event. A purchased felt Leprechan hat is placed over a large oatmeal box to make it stand up.You can find some awesome decorations such as a felt top hat like this on Amazon. (see link below)
St. Patrick's Day - Hat - Felt Leprechaun
(aff)The top is carefully slit open and artificial green and white flowers placed inside. OR, if you want to leave the hat intact, it is surely festive enough on it's own. Once you purchase unique holiday table decor, you get years and years of use out of them. Store in clear boxes, clearly marked for holiday or season and you'll find them in a flash.
The rainbow was hand made on white card stock with markers and glitter glue.
The little black pot is borrowed from the Halloween decorations box, and filled with gold wrapped candies. Find the ones shaped like bars of gold. Gold wrapped chocolate "coins" are strewn about the table. Find a green plastic cloth from your local party store, -wipe it down afterward, and save it for next year or another party. They are pretty durable. Green plates and napkins, all from a dollar store. Paper cupcake liners hold green gumdrops and green beads are borrowed from Mardis Gras decor.
Each place setting has a fun button to wear with cute sayings such as "Kiss me ,I'm Irish" and " Irish for a Day". Re-use as much as possible for next year.
It's great to have an excuse to make a table more fun. And you don't even have to be Irish!
Making your life a little sweeter,
