St. Patricks Day Luck of the Irish Wreath

February 17, 2016 By Karen Creel

I love a challenge, and when Megan Chamberlin of C’mon Get Crafty challenged a group of bloggers to create a St Patrick’s Day craft from dollar store items, (total cost less than $10.00) I signed up. My St. Patrick’s Day Luck of the Irish Wreath included a trip to the Dollar Tree and Michaels. Total cost of my wreath? $6.00. I had the wreath, and horseshoes, so that kept the cost down.

If  you follow my blog and Facebook page regularly, you know I love flea markets and junking.  These old horse shoes were perfect to represent the Luck of the Irish.  My husband reminded me to place the open end up so that your luck “doesn’t run out”.

St Patricks Day Luck of the Irish Wreath Wired HoreshoeI wired the horse shoe on using rusty wire, and would cover it later.

Double Horsehoes for St. Patricks Day Luck of the Irsh WreathI  placed the second horseshoe on, using the same method to wire it on.  Open side up of course!

Using my thrift store glue gun, I glued golden coin onto foam shamrocks.

And, glued the shamrocks onto the wreath.

Next came more gold coins glued together and  a shamrock bow to finish it off.

    Using wire to secure the horseshoes is so smart! I love tying in all of these “lucky” elements. Turned out beautiful!

    Great rustic wreath, esp. the use of “real” lucky horseshoes!

A Quick Note…

Gardenchick is a place for gardeners, flea market fanatics, lovers of the farmhouse look, and purveyors of all things rusty!

I’m not sure when my fascination with junk began, but gardening was in my blood from an early age.  I remember my grandmother could throw a few seeds out and have the prettiest flowers.  Sweet peas were rampant beside the front porch.  I can see her now, bent over pulling weeds, and I find myself doing the same thing anytime I’m in the yard.  My dad was raised on a large farm, and even though he moved away, and we always lived in the city, he had a garden.  He had me help him  plant a garden in May before he died in August.  So you can see, gardening just comes naturally to me.

I can’t explain the love of rusty and all things chippy, but I have dug through more barns and sheds than I would like to admit to bring out a rusty wagon or old chicken feeder.

So, I hope you will follow along, and we can learn a few things together.  I’ll be sharing gardening ideas, my flea market finds, and thrifty ways to repurpose.
