Jeans Pocket Patchwork Shamrocks

The Luck O’ the Irish is on your side with this unique and adorable Jeans Pocket Patchwork Shamrock DIY! Nobody will Pinch you for not wearing green when you decorate with this amazing St. Patrick’s Day decor.

We made THE cutest Patchwork Shamrock *(blog post coming soon)* in The CRafterparty last week! So cute and I loved the patterns that we used so much that I decided to make this entirely different, yet coordinating project to go along with it!

There’s just something about this combo that is Lucky, Wild, and fun! The Leopard Print, the Camo, the Music Sheet, the Burlap, the Buffalo check, the green glitter….a match made in Crafty Heaven! So I decided to take that same project we did, and turn it into an entirely different project with a fun jeans pocket twist.

And this Jeans Pocket Patchwork Shamrock idea was born!

Take a walk on the wild side with this St. Patrick’s Day DIY Decor!

We started this off by doing a faux shiplap background on the back of the Dollar Tree Tag. It’s so simple you just paint it all white, and then use a ruler/straightedge to draw lines with a sharpies every 1.5″- 2″ inches. I did 1.5″ but in retrospect I would have done more like 2-2.5″.

Then I cut the pocket out of an old pair of blue jeans and glued that right to the bottom front of the shiplap background.

I chose a whole bunch of coordinating and fun scrapbook paper patterns and colors for the shamrocks, and then tore little pieces off of each of them to make the patchwork shamrock that you see on the back of the jeans pocket. Just rip and Mod Podge them on piece by piece so you get that “patchwork” look.

The patchwork shamrock is literally a mini version of a project we just made in The CRafterparty, which is where I got this idea from. The CRafterparty is my private VIP craft crafting group where we get together and craft once a week inside a Facebook Group, with a supply list ahead of time so that you can craft along if you like!

Then cut out a bunch of varying sized smaller shamrocks out of cardstock, and make each one a pattern that is in the patchwork shamrock. Just trace the cardstock shamrocks onto the scrapbook paper, and Mod Podge those babies on, one by one until you have a bunch of different patterns and sizes.

Glue them on the wooden tag, so that they look like they are spilling out of the pocket, using a piece of foam board to raise some of them up and off of the surface to give it dimension.

Add a strip of ripped jeans as the hanger and you’ve got yourself the cutest and most unique St. Patrick’s Day piece of decor ever.
