St. Patrick’s Day Horseshoe Tree

I looked everywhere, trying to find some St. Patrick’s Day ornaments to hang on my horseshoe tree.  Besides looking, looking, and looking some more on the internet, I also looked in a few different stores.  Nothing, I was coming up with NOTHING.
I finally decided to make my own ornaments.  While in the Dollar Tree store, I came across some green foam and St. Patrick’s Day stickers.  The wheels started turning and I thought, hey, why not make a clover out of the green foam and add some stickers to it.  I came home with foam and stickers in hand, then went to work.  I went to Google images to find the shape of a shamrock, cut and pasted it in my word program, printed it out, then cut it out to use as a pattern.  After I had cut out 6 shamrocks, I added some stickers and green ribbon for hangers and voila, DONE…..and all for under $3.

The ribbon on top is the same one I used for my Christmas horseshoe tree and it isn’t quite the color or style of ribbon I want… but, until I get out of town again to find the right kind of ribbon, this one will have to do. 
Since St. Patrick’s Day and Easter are in the same month, I plan on hanging the St. Patrick’s Day ornaments until March 17th and then I will swap it out and hang egg ornaments on the tree for Easter.
