St. Patrick’s Day Door Hanger Dollar Tree DIY
Make a fun Pot O’ Gold St. Patrick’s Day Door Hanger to celebrate the luck of the Irish! With a few Dollar Tree supplies, you can make this craft for under five dollars. Attach it to a wreath, or hang it by itself to give your front door a festive look!
Do you celebrate St. Patrick’s Day? While I don’t have any known Irish ancestry, I love that the holiday celebrates my favorite color, green. Today I’ve joined some blogger friends for the When Irish Eyes Are Smiling Blog Hop, hosted by my talented friend Debbee from Debbee’s Buzz.
If you’re stopping by after a visit with Ann from Corner of Plaid and Paisley, welcome! Didn’t you just love her whimsical tablescape? Be sure to check out all of the links at the end of this post. There is a great variety of St. Patrick’s Day tablescapes, crafts, decor and food!
St. Patrick’s Day Door Hanger Craft
Supply List
- pot of gold wooden cut out from Dollar Tree
- bag of faux gold coins from Dollar Tree
- black paint (I used Dixie Belle Caviar)
- green paint (I used Dixie Belle Evergreen)
- small paint brushes
- hot glue gun and glue sticks
- gold glitter
How to Make a St. Patrick’s Day Door Hanger
Step 1.
Paint the cauldron with black paint. Use a larger paintbrush for most of the area, then switch to a tiny paintbrush to get between the letters. Let dry about 30 minutes and apply a second coat.
Step 2.
Paint the word Lucky with green paint. I again used the tiny brush.
Step 3.
Begin to paint a second coat of green paint onto the word Lucky. After painting about two inches, sprinkle some gold glitter onto the wet paint. Continue painting and sprinkling until the word is covered with paint and glitter. Let dry about 30 minutes, then shake off the excess glitter.
Step 4.
Hot glue the gold coins onto the top of the cauldron. Cover with one layer, then overlap with more coins on top to cover up the raw wood underneath. I used all 30 of the coins that came in the package.
I love how my St. Patrick’s Day door hanger came together! It’s sure to bring some Irish cheer to your home!
This is only my second St. Patrick’s Day post. Last year, I designed a Green and Orange Tablescape for the occasion.

So fun Rebecca! I love your tutorial – you make it sound easy enough for anyone to do. I need to remember to check out the unpainted things at Michael’s. I often forget that even if I don’t find exactly what I’m looking for, I can make something really fun myself! Thanks for the reminder and the inspiration! So nice hopping with you. Hope you have a lovely St Patrick’s Day!
Rebecca, now that is super cute! I like very simple doorhangers – not to heavy or thick – and that’s just perfect (well, except for the glitter part. I’m a glitterphobe, so I’d need someone else to do that step for me and be sure to seal it afterwards, lol). Love how this hop embraced crafts, foods and flowers among the tables. Happy St. Patrick’s Day to you!
Rebecca, your pot of gold door hanger is so charming. It is perfect and makes a lower-cost decor piece that anyone could make in a short time yet it makes a huge impact. This pot wood piece would probably also work for Halloween too. Such a cute idea to use the gold coins and the word “lucky”. So fun. I would love to try it myself. Thank you for sharing your idea. It is always great to blog hop with you. Happy St. Patrick’s Day.
Adorable craft, Rebecca, and my frugal lovin heart leans into crafts that are easy on the pocketbook!
Yea for the dollar store:)

Your pot of gold looks like a fun project! What a fun way to greet your visitors!! Hope you have a fun St. Patrick’s Day☘️🌈
Fun idea, Rebecca! Love the sparkle! Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
Adorable and affordable craft project for St. Paddy’s Day Rebecca! I love the sparkle from the glitter and all the gold coins. So happy to hop with you again! ☘️
Very cute sign Rebecca. We can always count on the dollar store to provide us with fabulous resources. The gold lettering makes it pop. A fun pot of gold to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day.
Rebecca, what a cute and clever St. Patrick’s Day craft! I haven’t been to DT in awhile and I missed what they had for Irish holiday. Like that your finished craft could hang on a door by itself or incorporated into a spring, seasonal wreath. Thanks for sharing the instructive, illustrated tutorial and being part of the hop again this year.
This is so cute Rebecca! I love the gold glitter on the Lucky letters, such a great idea to make it really sparkle! I must go to the Dollar Tree!
So cute! My grandkids would love this as they enter our house!
Rebecca thank you so much for your adorable DIY. Love it! What a great way to show your Irish spirit. It can be used in a centerpiece and just about anywhere although I love it on your door. Thanks for joining this hop, you are so talented.
My heart is heavy with prayer and concern for the people of Ukraine on this beautiful Thursday morning.

That is so cute! I think I could attempt this, even though I’m not much of a crafty person. Loved your tutorial.
