How To Make Moss Shamrock Placemats

Here is how to make moss shamrock placemats on a budget with Dollar Tree. Use the inexpensive items listed below to save over $10.00 each on these cute placemats. They are perfect for a St. Patrick’s Day Theme Party or Dinner.

Y’all, I’m so excited to share these cute placemats with you. They cost $3.00 each to make and were very easy to make. I saw similar options for $14.99 each and decided to try this project.

Materials Needed for Moss Shamrock Placemats

Supplies to make a St. Patrick Day DIY Shamrock Placemat.

Step 1

Roll out your moss mat with the backside up. Then lay your Dollar Tree Felt Shamrock on the sheet moss and trace around the edges.

Next, remove the shamrock placemat and begin cutting the shape out of the moss.

Step 3

Turn the Dollar Tree Shamrock over and apply a generous bead of glue along the edges. Then fill in the center with additional glue.

The final Step to make Moss Shamrock Placemats

Place the wrong side of the shamrock-shaped moss onto the glue and press down. You may also need to weigh the moss until the glue has set. Also, please ensure the glue has not seeped around any edges or cutouts on the felt shamrock.

Press moss sheet into glued Dollar Tree Shamrock to adhere.

One roll of moss is exactly enough to cover the 4 Felt Shamrocks. However, the 4th one had to be pieced together. Although it’s pieced, you can’t tell when the glue is dry.

UPDATE: I used the same placemats again for a second year on my St. Patty’s Day table with a Touch of Pink, and they still looked great. Did you know that preserved moss can last for years with proper care? See this article on How To Freshen Faded Moss.
