St. Patrick’s Day Shamrock Garland Supplies:
- twine
- green yarn- I chose to use the moss shade that I got from Dollar Tree because it doesn’t seem as tacky added throughout the home as a brighter green (at least with my home decor). Choose the shade that will go best with your style.
- hot glue gun
- scissors
- my shamrock template
- burlap for two bows (optional)

Print & cut the shamrock template.
What’s so great about this St. Patrick’s Day garland is that you probably have everything you need to make it. If you don’t, you can buy what you need for $2.50! Amazing price for home decor, right?!
Begin by downloading and printing this shamrock template. The shamrock is 3″, and the image was designed to print on regular 8.5×11 paper.

Trace the shamrock on cardboard.
You don’t have to go out and buy new cardboard for this St. Patrick’s Day garland. For mine I used pieces of scrap cardboard that came from Amazon boxes that I had previously cut pieces from. You could even use cardboard from food packaging that you were going to just throw away. See? I told you this was a super affordable project!
Lay the shamrock onto a piece of cardboard and trace around it.

Wrap the shamrocks with yarn.
I made a large yarn heart for my tabletop Valentine’s decoration, and I found that I really liked the look of it with my decor. So I wanted to continue that with the few pieces of St. Patrick’s Day decorations that I put out. This shamrock garland gave me the opportunity to do that.
I used both yarn and twine for this project, but feel free to use all yarn or all twine and to mix the colors to fit your decor. I tried white chenille yarn on a few shamrocks and regular white yarn. The chenille was too big, and I just didn’t think the white looked good. The white yarn I had was old, so that could be why. That’s why I opted for twine instead. It’s much more farmhouse chic like that anyway!
Glue the end of the yarn (or twine) to the cardboard shamrock. For some of mine I started at the stem and some I started in the middle. Whatever you prefer works.

Make burlap bows for each end of the shamrock garland.
Lately I’ve been trying to use up supplies from my craft stash because it’s ridiculously huge. I had a piece of burlap in there, so I thought that would be perfect to add to the St. Patrick’s Day garland. You could use burlap, ribbon, or even make tassels from yarn or twine.
The pieces or burlap weren’t that long, so I cut it down the center to be able to make two bows. Make a simple two loop bow and secure it in the center with a piece of pipe cleaner or floral wire. Leave the wire long enough to use it to attach the bow to the garland.

String the shamrocks onto the St. Patrick’s Day garland.
When you have all of your shamrocks ready to go, string them all on twine. I found it easier to string the shamrocks on the twine after they were completely wrapped than to wrap them while they were on the twine. Just push the twine through a few rounds of yarn at the top on the back of the shamrocks. Move them around until you’re happy with the spacing. You can always move them more once the garland is hung.

St. Patrick’s Day Shamrock Garland Video Tutorial
Here’s a quick video tutorial. If you need to see anything more closely, you can slow the speed with the buttons.
Your shamrock garland is ready to hang!
My husband helped me hang my garland across our front window which is about 12′ wide. He wrapped the twine ends around the curtain rod. Easy peasy. If you’d like to hang it on a shelf or mantle, you can attach a Command hook sideways on each side and twist the twine around them.
