Stain or Paint the Crate
A lot of Dollar Tree wood is quite rough. If yours is, sand it wherever it needs it.
Stain or paint the crate. I used Rust-oleum weathered gray stain and polyurethane in one.

Paint the Shamrocks
While your crate is drying, you can move onto the shamrocks that will be inserted into the St. Patrick’s Day centerpiece.
Remove the paper layer that comes on the Dollar Tree shamrocks. Luckily it’s only on one side. You will need to do this on five of them.

Cut the Wood Dowels to Fit the Centerpiece
The wood dowels that I used are 12″ long. That would be way too long to place the shamrocks in the St. Patrick’s Day centerpiece, so I cut them in half.
Mark three dowels at 6″.

Print & Add “Lucky” to the Centerpiece’s Shamrocks
Download & print my “lucky” design. If you have a cutting machine you could cut vinyl letters instead.
