Scented Shamrock
This Saint Patrick's Day get in the spirit by creating a scented shamrock. Native Celtic people used the shamrock as medicine, which is why people believed it was good luck. Now, widely used as the symbol of Ireland, the shamrock is celebrated at festivals around the world during the month of March. Celebrate in your own home by creating a scented clover.
