Sweetest Pin - Shamrock Door Decor (Wreath)

This weeks Sweetest Pin is all about St. Patrick's Day!  

I have seen some beautiful wreaths out there, but this one is my absolute favorite!

Blue Sky Confections

I have been smitten with real shamrocks since high school, when my friend's mom gave me a shamrock plant.

Does anyone have a shamrock (oxalis) plant?  If you do, you would know that the leaves open and close with the sun.  Something I had never experienced before.  It makes me smile!  I will share with you my real shamrock plant on my porch soon.

So, when I saw this amazing take on a wreath by Blue Sky Confections, my heart skipped a beat!

She made this amazing door hanging with trimmings from her yard.  I am sure you can do it with faux plants too.

What do you think?  What is your favorite thing about

St. Patrick's Day DIY Door Decoration

{this 3-minute door decor is quick just in time for last minute decorating}

I was looking at my lone St.Patrick's Decor in my home and wanted to be more festive.  I found some fun things in the floral store at JoAnn's.

Here is a quick tutorial on how to make your own door decoration.

Supplies:

Hanging basket (mine was on sale!)
Green plant, I liked this moss one
Faux moss rocks (my package had large and small rocks)

Step 1:

Put the plant in the basket, and mold the leaves to look natural.  I stuck a little hot glue on the end just in case it is a windy day.

Step 2:

Hot glue (4) small rocks to basket to look like a 4-leaf clover.

Step 3:

Hang!

You are all set! 

After St. Patrick's Day just turn the basket around

and add some spring tulips for Easter!
