What do you need to make a Rainbow Magic Wand?

• Wooden or paper heart
• Markers
• Ribbon
• Dowel
• Glue gun
• Ruler

How to make a Rainbow Magic Wand:

• Colour the heart shape with rainbow colours. Be creative!
• Glue coloured ribbon onto a wooden dowel using a hot glue gun.
• Glue the heart shape to the top of the dowel on the coloured ribbon.

Easy Picture Tutorial!

First, outline the Pride flag on the heart with a ruler.

Then colour in with markers.

Crafting tip – If you are using a wooden heart we recommend painting it white before colouring.

Next, prepare the wand handle. Glue rainbow colours of ribbon onto one end of the wooden dowel with a hot glue gun.

Finally, attach the heart to the top of the dowel, on top of the ribbons using the hot glue gun.

This wand is fun for kids to make too!

Follow the same steps, letting kids colour as they would like with a rainbow of coloured markers.

These little decorations are super fun, and surprisingly soothing, to make. There are a few different ways to wrap yarn, and they’re all easy! We like the look of the circular method we used for our balls. But, all the methods really work great, plus they are so, so easy and really inexpensive to put together!

What you’ll need:

• Styrofoam balls (5 or more, depending on the size you have)
• Yarn
• Glue
• Scissors
• Optional: Pins, popsicle stick, cotton swab or paint brush

Let’s Make Some Lucky Green Balls!

Start with a dollop of glue on the top of one of the Styrofoam balls.

This step is optional – but we found it helpful to add a pin to the yarn to hold it in place while the glue is still wet.

Begin twirling the yarn tightly around itself, sticking it to the glue as you go. Try not to leave any gaps in the yarn.

Add glue as you are wrapping to hold the yarn in place.

Keep wrapping until the entire ball is covered and then snip the yarn off at the top circle. Wrapping the top of the ball will be a little more difficult, you will need to gently push the yarn to keep any gaps from forming as you go.

Copy the same steps again with some white or cream yarn.

And then again with another green yarn. This technique works equally well for both thinner and thicker yarns.

To make our rainbow ball, use the exact same steps as the solid coloured balls. The difference here will be the transition between each colour.

To do this, mark on the ball where you want each colour to end with a pen. Start at the top as usual, using the glue and wrapping the yarn. When you reach the first mark, cut off the yarn and glue the end to the ball. Start the next colour by layering the new colour overtop of the cut end (blue over purple in our example).

Continue this technique with each colour to cover the entire ball.

All done!

What ingredients do you need to make a fun St. Patrick’s Day Recipe?

• 36 Golden Oreo cookies
• 1 pkg (8 oz) cream cheese (softened to room temperature)
• Gel food colouring in the colours of a rainbow (red, yellow, blue, green, purple)
• White chocolate melts
• Dark chocolate melts
• Rainbow sprinkles

How do you make St. Patrick’s Day Rainbow Truffles?

This recipe is so easy to make, only requires a few ingredients and it’s no-bake! You will need a food processor and a microwave to make this dessert. Simply put the golden Oreo cookies into a food processor and pulse them until they are crumbs (don’t remove the cream). Then, in a separate bowl, add the softened cream cheese and mix until smooth. Next, divide the mixture into 5 equal parts and add a different colour of food colouring to each. Blend until the colour is solid. Keep reading for the final touches!

Firstly place thirty six whole Oreo cookies into a food processor (the whole cookie). Pulse the cookies until they become fine crumbs.

Secondly, place the crumbs into a medium mixing bowl and add the softened cream cheese, mix with a hand mixer until well blended. Next, divide the mixture into equal parts and add in two-three drops of food colouring to each part. Blend with a spatula.

On a piece of parchment paper, roll each ball into a log and stack them on top of one another. Roll the rainbow log in the parchment paper and chill in the refrigerator for 5 min.

Remove from the fridge and scoop the mixture into balls, a tablespoon works great for this! Roll the mixture into a ball shape and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Continue until all of the mixture is used.

Place the rolled balls into the freezer for 15min.

Rainbow Truffles!

While the rainbow balls are chilling, melt the white and dark chocolate (in separate bowls) in the microwave. Melting times may vary, be sure to follow the melting instructions on the chocolate you have.

Once the Oreo balls have chilled, remove them from the freezer. Using a fork, dip each ball into the melted chocolate. Top with the sprinkles immediately as the chocolate will dry quickly! Set them aside to set completely.

Viola! A FUN and EASY St. Patrick’s Day Dessert Idea!
