Use Removable Glue Dots® to adhere lengths of yarn to your wall to resemble wind lines. Make sure the lines begin in the same area, then spread out. If you are creating this backdrop above your Shenanigans Station, it is best to make the wind lines a bit longer than the length of your station table or bar cart. Be sure to leave space in between your lines for shamrocks and coins.

Next, use scissors to cut the string from a St. Patrick's Day Shamrock Banner. Use glue dots to secure some of the shamrocks to your display, with the smaller ones near the left and larger ones toward the right. Just beyond where your wind lines end, secure a large Green Shamrock Decoration to the wall.

Select rainbow colored Paint Chip Circles from the paint chip bag and arrange them in rainbow order. We pulled enough chips out to create four separate rainbow rows. Use glue dots to secure the paint chips to the wall in rainbow order, kind of floating along the wind lines. (Refer to image).

Position a clear, removable wall hook beneath the large Green Shamrock shape. Fluff the tassel from a Giant Happy Birthday 36" Latex Balloon with Tassel, saving the balloon for another occasion. Hang the tassel from the hook.

Use a glue stick to adhere the "station" text to a trimmed piece of Pacon® Riverside® Green 9" x 12" Heavyweight Construction Paper. Use glue dots to secure the sign to the Shenanigans Station table in front of your wall display.
