Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day by decorating your headphones with cheery paper rainbows, bright green shamrocks, and a lucky pot of gold! My lucky St. Patrick’s Day paper craft project features a DIY curved paper rainbow on the headband, a leprechaun’s treasure on the ear speaker, and festive shamrocks on the other ear speaker. It’s a cheery nod to Chicago’s favorite spring holiday, St. Patricks’s Day.
Astrobrights asked me to come up with a fun kid’s craft idea for St. Patrick’s Day for them to share on the Astrobrights.com website and Astrobrights Instagram feed. Thanks so much to Astrobrights for sponsoring this project!
My kids are on their headphones a lot these days for remote school and online gaming with friends, so I thought it would be fun to decorate their headphones with bright Astrobrights paper. Remote teachers can get in on the fun by embellishing their own headphones for their online classes on Google Meets and Zoom.
Dress up for St. Patrick’s Day with cute rainbows
We live in Chicago where pretty much everyone goes all out for St. Patrick’s Day. I like to figure out cute handmade ways to celebrate. First, I added Astrobright’s colorful paper to the curved headband so that it looks like a rainbow.
Then I added a paper shamrock onto one speaker ear and a paper pot of gold onto the other speaker ear. Keep reading to see how to get my free printable shamrock and pot of gold templates at Astrobrights.com.
