Here are some easy to make, last minute decorations for your dorm room or apartment to help you celebrate St. Patrick’s Day.
St. Patrick’s Day Wreath
What You Need:
- Foam ring
- Twine
- Fake flowers
- Green ribbon
- Scissors
Directions:
- Tie the twine in a knot around the foam ring. Wrap twine around the ring until it is covered three-fourths of the way. Cut the twine with scissors and tie it off.
- Cut the stem of the fake flowers so there is only 1 ½ inches of stem left. Stick the stem into the exposed part of the foam ring.
- Repeat step two until there is no foam visible.
- Tie a bow with the green ribbon onto the foam ring.
- Hang the wreath on your door.
