I don’t know about you, but my St. Patrick’s Day decorations are typically limited to rainbow crafts for kids that I display around the house. This year, try bringing some other holiday decor to the party by hanging this pennant garland from the mantle.
4. Pom Pom Rainbow Craft
If you’re looking for St. Patrick’s Day crafts for kids, look no further than this adorable pom rainbow craft. A leprechaun trap can be tough for little ones to make, but they can create their own rainbow!

Every single year someone in my family forgets to wear green. With this easy-to-make lucky shamrock corsage, no one has to be the subject of multiple pinches this year.
7. Lucky Penny Sign
Are you feeling lucky? I love this combination of the word “lucky” and pennies in this St. Patrick’s Day craft.
If you don’t like the copper look, you could always use gold coins on dark metal or wood. But either way – if your home could use a little holiday flair, crafts like this one are the ticket.
8. DIY Ikea Rainbow Mat

Display both the rainbow and a four-leaf shamrock all at once with colorful St. Patrick’s day crafts like this one. Make it once and display it year after year.
