Bring a bit of the “Luck of the Irish” into your life with one of these festive St. Patrick’s Day crafts for adults. There are over 25 ideas including home decor, jewelry and even a sneaker makeover!

St. Patrick’s Day has cultural and religious meaning for many people around the world. However, it seems that in the US we’ve made it into a day for drinking green beer, wearing green and pinching those who do not. 🤣
No, in actuality, we’ve made it a day to celebrate Irish culture with many different things that don’t necessarily relate to the holiday such as 4-leaf clovers, leprechauns, Celtic symbols, rainbows and Irish drinks. It is a day for everyone to be a bit more playful and mischievous.
While St. Patrick’s Day crafts tend to be geared more towards the little ones, there are so many different projects that adults can do to help celebrate the day. I’ve collected over 25 fun crafts that you can enjoy making while you sip your green beer. Go ahead and scroll down to check out all of the fun…
