Here are some easy to make, last minute decorations for your dorm room or apartment to help you celebrate St. Patrick’s Day.

St. Patrick’s Day Wreath

What You Need:

• Foam ring
• Twine
• Fake flowers
• Green ribbon
• Scissors

Directions:

1. Tie the twine in a knot around the foam ring. Wrap twine around the ring until it is covered three-fourths of the way. Cut the twine with scissors and tie it off.
2. Cut the stem of the fake flowers so there is only 1 ½ inches of stem left. Stick the stem into the exposed part of the foam ring. 
3. Repeat step two until there is no foam visible.
4. Tie a bow with the green ribbon onto the foam ring.
5. Hang the wreath on your door.
