Once I got the materials together, this shamrock moss wreath project took only about ten minutes. Total cost was $7.99 using this Dollar Tree wire shamrock wreath base. If I’d bought the moss at the Dollar Tree the cost would have been $2.50 but I have more plans for this moss.
Supplies for Moss Shamrock Wreath
- Dollar Tree wire shamrock wreath.
- One bag of moss.
- Hot glue gun and 2 Hot glue sticks
I covered my work surface with cardboard. I also used some silicone finger tip protectors. These are a MUST now whenever I use my glue gun.
Instructions for Moss Shamrock Wreath
- Lay the wreath flat on the surface.
- Select a starting point on your wreath and run a bead of glue along the top of the wires of the wreath working on a 6 inches section at a time.
- Pull a small section of the moss from the bag and fluff it so it is relatively loose (not clumped) and lay it onto the glue.
- Press the moss onto the wire wreath so that the moss is secure.
- Continue to the next 6 inch section and repeat until you have finished the wreath.
- After completing the entire wreath, go back and fill in any empty spots with more moss.
It really is that simple!

This is such a fantastic way to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day Sue! I can’t believe how inexpensive it was to create too. That is so cool! I’ll definitely be on the lookout for both the moss and the wreath forms at our Dollar Tree. Thanks so much for sharing!
Thanks Coco! I’m loving all of your projects this spring. So many to try!
