st patricks day garland

Most garlands are made from paper or sturdy cardstock. Some listings use polypropylene or other plastics for the hanging strings and danglers.

You can find shamrock string banners, battery-operated lighted shamrock garlands, DIY clothespin garlands, letter pennant banners, vertical door banners, and foil hanging strings or danglers.

Many garlands require simple assembly—kits typically note “Some assembly required” and instruct you to string the pieces on included cord or clip shapes onto mini clothespins.

Paper garlands are often professionally printed single- or double-sided on sturdy cardstock. Some items use a “No-Mess Glitter Print” to give a glittered look without loose glitter.

Kits commonly include multiple small and large cardstock cutouts (for example, a 44-piece kit might have 24 small and 20 large), around 50 mini clothespins, and about 10 yards of cord; cutouts are typically printed on sturdy cardstock and require some assembly.

Common display spots include mantels, doorways and entrances, walls and staircases, over food or gift tables and buffets, tabletops or centerpieces, and as backdrops or photo-area displays; some listings also mention classrooms, parades, and event venues.
