I’m pretty sure most St. Patrick’s Day parties are just beer destinations … and rightly so.

The love of beer is weaved throughout Irish history. One of Ireland’s oldest and most popular beers is Guinness, an Irish dry stout crafted in 1759 in Dublin.

To honor the Irish brew tradition, I want to share a fitting St. Patrick’s Day decoration for your party. You can use these dressed up beer mugs as centerpieces and favors for guests.

1. Fill the beer mug or glass with water pearls, leaving a 2-inch gap at the top. Lightly shake the mug so the pearls are snug. Make sure the top layer is fairly even across.

2. Scrunch the tulle and fill the space between the pearls and the rim.

3. Carefully arrange the flowers above the tulle in a rounded shape (as pictured). They can be hot-glued together at the base for more stability

To make this decoration more unique than a four-leaf clover, customize the side of the mug with a clever St. Patrick’s Day image or saying! You can make several of these mugs for guests to take home, or give the lads and lassies party favors with an Irish flare.
