St. Patrick ~ Costume

St. Patrick, patron of Ireland. Read more here.

 St. Patrick could wear a brown robe, but I kind of liked green. It matched his mitre. I made the mitre by cutting two green felt sheets into a mitre shape and sewing just the bottom sides together. I added white and gold trimmed ribbon to the bottom and the two “tails” on the back.It also has a three leaf clover and a white felt cross on the front. I also hot glued a strip of heavy cardboard to the inside of each felt piece to keep it up-right.

The staff, robe, and beard were purchased.
