Make a St. Patrick’s Day Shamrock Bowl

March 12, 2010 By

After doing our trinity shamrock craft, my daughter and I were looking for more St. Patrick’s Day shamrock fun! Let’s dive into these fun crafts!

Post continues after this brief information about the Catholic Icing Monthly Membership

Monthly Liturgical Membership

Catholic Liturgical Monthly Membership

Perfect for families! Each month you gain access to printable activity pages, crafts, home altar pieces, and more.
 
Never has living the liturgical year been so easy and affordable!
 
First, we made these adorable little shamrock bowls.
They were very simple to make!
Plastic bowl shaped like a shamrock for St. Patrick with grapes inside next to glass of juice.
 
These shamrock bowls are cut from the bottom of 2-liter bottles.
(This is important. 3 liter bottles are too thick to cut. Trust me 😉
Here’s basically how you cut the bottom:
 
Bottom of 2-liter bottle outlining cut points in shape of a shamrock St. Patrick Craft.
 
That’s it! Just cut with scissors or a box cutter!
When you turn it around, it’s a little shamrock bowl!
 
Cutout 2-liter bottle bottom cut-out into shamrock shape for St. Patrick symbology.
 
I thought these might also be cute to use for a
Feast of St. Patrick tea:

And may I suggest using ‘green tea’ 😉 ???
 
Spoon and sugar cubes on bowl with Lipton green tea packet for St. Patrick's.
 
After the bottoms of the bottles were gone, I cut out some
shamrock shapes from the sides of the bottles as well.
 
 
2-liter bottle of Sierra Mist and multiple St. Patrick plastic shamrocks.
 
 
Plastic St. Patrick Shamrocks set on a table.
 
These are really quite pretty with a sort of ‘stained glass’ look.
I punched some holes in the shamrocks and
my daughter strung them onto embroidery thread:
 
Plastic St. Patrick shamrocks strung up on yarn.
 
We made a whole garland and then draped it across the mantel!
It’s very pretty when the sun shines in!

And I even found a use for my shamrock bowl on my mantel!

I think we’re just about ready for St. Patrick’s feast day around here! 🙂

    I just found your blog recently through the Mommy Life blog. I just absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE all the awesome crafts that you have. The Lent crafts are helping to enrich my family's Lent observation, and I am tickled green with the adorable St. Patrick's Day items.

    Thank you for all of your wonderful ideas! Keep up the good work!
