Valentine’s Day has quickly passed and now it’s time to prepare for one of my favorite holidays, St. Patrick’s Day. I mean, c’mon… my name is Erin. It means Ireland.

So back in my early blogging days I created this wreath for my daughter’s bedroom door using some colorful fabric scraps. I still love this wreath. One of my absolute favorites.

Supplies:

  • St. Patrick’s Day fabrics
  • Antibes Green Annie Sloan chalk board paint
  • Wire wreath form
  • Circle for chalk board
  • Hot glue gun
  • Scissors

    Just came across this! Fun idea! Approximately how much yardage did you get of each fabric?

    • howtonestforless says

      Thanks Sarah! I had about a half yard of each fabric which was more than enough!
