9 Last Minute St. Patrick’s Day Decorations Made With Things You Already Have

As much as we’d love to be the parent who always plans ahead, crafting and cooking well in advance of every major holiday … sometimes that’s just not in the cards.

Instead, why not be the parent who thinks on her or his feet. Here are some great little last minute St. Patrick’s Day table decorations made with things you probably already have in your home. A little touch of something special makes even a freshly delivered pizza seem on-theme and festive.

So skip the stress and free up some time, because what are holidays if not just a great excuse to spend a little time celebrating each other.
