Whether you're looking for something to do with your kids or just want to get in the spirit of the holiday, there are plenty of fun and easy arts and crafts projects to choose from.
St. Patrick's Day is a cultural and religious holiday celebrated every year on March 17th. The day honors Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, who is said to have brought Christianity to the country in the 5th century. Over the years, the holiday has become a popular celebration of Irish culture and heritage, marked by traditions like parades, wearing green, and enjoying festive foods and drinks. But where do these traditions come from, and what creative things can you do with adhesive tape to celebrate the day? Read on to find out!
One of the most recognizable St. Patrick's Day traditions is wearing green. This practice dates back to the 17th century, when green became associated with Irish nationalism and pride. The color was also said to make one invisible to leprechauns, mischievous Irish fairies who would pinch anyone they could see.
Another popular tradition is the St. Patrick's Day parade, which began in the United States in the 18th century as a way for Irish immigrants to showcase their heritage. Today, parades are held in cities around the world, with participants decked out in green and other Irish-themed attire.
Looking for a fun way to celebrate St. Patrick's Day? Try your hand at some adhesive tape crafts! With just a few rolls of tape and some creativity, you can make everything from shamrock decorations to leprechaun hats. Here are a few ideas to get you started:
-
Shamrock Wall Art: Cut a large shamrock shape out of cardboard or paper, then use green tape to cover it in stripes or patterns. Hang it on your wall for a festive touch. Look at how we did something similar for kids!
-
Leprechaun Hat: Use black tape to create a band around a green plastic cup, then add a yellow buckle made from gold tape. Top it off with a green paper shamrock.
-
Rainbow Banner: Cut strips of colored tape in rainbow hues, then attach them to a piece of string or ribbon to create a bright and cheerful banner.
-
Pot of Gold Treat Bags: Cover small paper bags in black tape, then add a strip of gold tape around the middle. Fill with treats like chocolate coins or rainbow candies.
- Shamrock Garland: Cut out shamrocks from green construction paper and string them together to make a festive garland to hang in your home.
We did it once for a party, but imagine how good it would look in GREEN!
But what are the ideal green materials for all of these great ideas? You would not believe it:
-
Clover Prints: Dip a clover in green paint and press it onto paper to create a unique and festive pattern. Use Masking Tape.
