PROJECT: SHAMROCK PLACEMATS
Shamrocks are the eternal symbol of St. Patrick’s Day. Steeped in tradition dating back to the 14th century, when the shamrock made it’s first mention in the English language. Rumored to have been used by Ireland’s patron saint, St. Patrick, to represent the Holy Trinity. The term shamrock refers to a young sprig of clover that makes its first appearance in the early spring months and belongs to the species Trifolium dubium. Add a personal touch to your holiday decor this year by crafting your own shamrock-inspired placemats and mini-clover sprigs that St. Patrick himself would approve!
