There’s a lot of room for customization with it. You can choose whatever ribbons and embellishments that you want and just use my wreath as inspiration for yours. It would look super cute with a green burlap ribbon for a rustic touch.

DIY Shamrock Wreath
Equipment
- 1 pair of scissors
- 1 hot glue gun
- 1 glue stick
Materials
- 1 shamrock wire wreath form
- 6 yards St. Patrick's Day ribbon
- 1 welcome sign
- 1 green truck wood ornament
Instructions
- Secure the end piece of ribbon to the back of the wire wreath form with a dab of hot glue.
- Wrap the ribbon around the wreath until the three clovers are completely covered.
- Secure the other end piece of ribbon to the back of the wire wreath form with a dab of hot glue. I used my whole spool without any left over. Depending on how you space your ribbon, you may need more or less.
- Glue the twine (or rope) to the top shamrock wreath form's stem and begin winding the twine around the stem until you reach the bottom.
- Due to the awkward angles toward the end of the stem, I had to start gluing the twine down on each side every time I went around the stem to make it stay in place so you may need to do the same.
- Once your shamrock is complete, glue the welcome sign to the center of the top part of the shamrock on each side with hot glue.
- Center the green truck just above the stem and glue it to the wreath.
