Welcome to Dagmar’s Home!
You are looking for some easy St. Patrick’s Day ideas? Then you came to the right place!
5 Last-Minute DIY St. Patrick’s Day Ideas
Leprechaun Grilled Cheese
I love this idea because it doesn’t involve green, toxic food coloring: just add broccoli to grilled cheese!
St. Patrick’s Day Bunting
This bunting is simple and so cute. This would be a fun project to do with your kids this weekend. I’d use one of my many vintage books to make the flags.
Irish Potato Soup
One word: yum. I’d make sure to make this soup with organic potatoes since potatoes are on the Dirty Dozen list and loaded with pesticides if not they are not grow organic.
St. Patrick’s Day Centerpiece with Candles and Split Peas
Now, how easy is this! What a great idea to use split peas with candles to create a centerpiece.
You don’t even have to make these hurricane candle holders — just fill a bowl with split peas and add a candle.
Food-Coloring Free Treats & Printable Goodie Bag Topper
I wanted to make St. Patrick’s Day goodie bags for our son and his classmates, but I couldn’t find one green treat that wasn’t full of unhealthy food coloring.
So I created this goodie bag topper — just download and print it for free — and filled the bag with healthy, green treats. Green and healthy, it’s a win-win.

Great ideas! I thought about doing the dried peas in my hurricane candle holders this year. It’s such a clever idea. But every time I went to the store I’d always forget to pick them up. Where did you find the green cheese puffs? We are a chemical free house. We avoid artificial colors too. I might try something green in the grilled cheese with my boys. Of course in our house the bread has to be gluten free.
Dagmar Bleasdale says
Hi Caryn, those are the green Pirate Booties. I wonder how the grilled cheese would taste if you add spinach, that would be good as well. Sounds like your home is very healthy, same here. How do you deal with going out or having your kids eat junk other parents bring in for their kid’s birthday party? That is the most challenging to me.
