Display this delightful decor on your mantel, entryway table, or in your dining room centrepiece. A perfect, one-of-a-kind home decor piece to add to your St. Patrick’s Day collection! We placed it with our Yarn Wrapped Green Balls.

What do you need to make a St. Patrick’s Day Home Decor?

• Wooden square
• Four small wooden hearts
• Paint – white, green
• Sandpaper
• Glue
• Green glitter
• Hot glue

How do you make a DIY Clover Hearts Home Decor?

First, paint a wooden square green. Set it aside to let it dry completely before beginning in the next step.

Next, paint a layer of white over the green. Set it aside to dry once more.

Using a fine sandpaper, sand the white paint to reveal the green underneath. Vary the pressure throughout the wooden square to create more or less green. The design is up to you!

Once the square is finished you can begin to decorate the small wooden hearts. Start by covering the hearts with glue.

Then, cover them in glitter! Be sure to press the glitter into the heart firmly.

Finally, glue the wooden, glittery hearts onto the square.

That’s it! This piece looks great on the mantel or on the table as a festive addition to your table setting. Enjoy!

What you’ll need to make Nail Polish Marble Mugs:

• White mugs or tea cups
• Nail polish (NOT quick dry)
• A bowl
• Hot water
• A toothpick or skewer
• Paper towel

Fill a bowl with hot water. This should be a bowl that you don’t love as the nail polish could leave stains behind.

Holding the bottle very close to the waters surface, dot a few drops of nail polish around the bowl. If you hold the bottle too far away from the water, the drops will sink to the bottom of the bowl.

Use the skewer to marble the drops. You’ll need to work very quickly, as the polish dries fast – VERY FAST! We were taken by surprise at just how fast the polish dried, it forms a skin in a matter of seconds.

Dip a mug into the water and gently move it around. You can tilt it, swirl it, dunk it – just be sure to commit to your movements and move quickly. You can cover as much of the mug as you like, but be sure to leave the top portion of the mug clean (where someone would drink from the cup).

We’re Almost Finished Our Nail Polish Marble Mugs!

Pull the mug out of the water and let drip for a second. Don’t re-dip the mug, only one dunk per mug. If you don’t love the design, you can quickly use nail polish remover to strip the mug clean and try again. Be sure to thoroughly clean the mug, clean the bowl, and restart from Step 1, before trying again.

Turn the mug upside down to dry – leave for about 20 minutes to set.

These Nail Polish Marble Mugs are a great gift for Moms this Mother’s Day!

Baby M woke up from his nap and came to ‘help’ after the mugs had dried and we were taking photos. While we loved watching him play with the completed mugs, nail polish bottles and our paper flower confetti – we do not recommend this craft for young children. The steps are just too fast for little hands and the nail polish too toxic. It is however, a great activity for older kids, tweens and teens!

We hope our Nail Polish Marble Mugs help you to make a special day with your Mother, Aunts, Grandmothers, friends and loved ones. For more Mother’s Day inspirations check out these recipes and DIYs:

This felt shamrock is so easy to make, you can even get your kids to make their own! You can easily add these to a headband, hair clip or backpack for an easy and fun St. Patrick’s Day accessory.

We also used this craft to make a beautiful wreath for the front door this March 17th.

Why do we call this a shamrock and not a clover? A clover must have three leaves to be considered a shamrock. If we added one more leaf, it would not be considered a shamrock! We can say all shamrocks are clovers…but not all clovers are shamrocks. But, that doesn’t mean you can’t add an extra leaf to this felt craft. If you want to sport a little luck this March 17th, simply add another leaf.

What you’ll need:

• Glitter (or plain) paper in green and gold
• Clover punch
• Heart punch
• Twine
• Stapler
• Mini Clothespins
• Canvas or wood board

Let’s make our St. Patrick’s Day Clover Canvas!

To begin, punch out (you can cut them out if you don’t have a punch) 9 shamrocks from the green paper. You can always make more or less clover, depending on the look you want and the size of your canvas.

Punch or cut out one heart from the gold paper.

Staple one end of the twine to the back of the canvas, close to the top. Wrap the twine around the front and then staple the other end to the back of the canvas, to the opposite side. Repeat this step three or four more times.

Use the mini clothespins to clip the clover onto the twine. We spaced our clover out evenly and placed them all in the same direction, but you could also switch things up hang them crooked, in different directions or bunched together! There’s no wrong way to finish this St. Patrick’s Day Clover Canvas.

Remember to add the gold heart!

We hope you have a super fun St. Patrick’s Day, happy crafting! If you’re looking for more green fun, check out our Lucky Green Smash, our Chocolate Peppermint Cupcakes, and our Rainbow Kids Finger-painting Craft!
