Zolanye from MakingFriends.com transformed a Shamrock themed dish towel into cute hair accessories for St. Patrick’s Day festivities. These hair accessories can be used year after year for this special time of year.

Trivia:

In the fifth century, the king asked Saint Patrick to explain the Trinity. Plucking a sprig of shamrock from the ground, St. Patrick used the three-leaved plant as a visual aid. We do know that shamrocks have three leaves. In other words, shamrocks and four-leaf clovers are not the same.For four-leaf clovers, Druids believed that the four leaves represented the four elements of alchemy: earth, fire, water, and air. They used them as charms against bad spirits. Source: Garden Design – Shamrock
