St. Patrick's Day is quickly approaching, and we couldn't be
more excited! We love creating custom DIY crafts, and for St.
Patrick's Day, we made Clover Magnets! This craft is perfect for
both kids and adults. Best part? It's easy to make!
This blog was inspired by this Play Dough and Popsicles pin.
Supplies needed
For this quick craft, you'll only need 5 things.
-
Fil-Stik in your choice of color. We used Hunter
Green.
- 3 wooden heart cut outs
- Hot glue gun
- Magnet
- Ribbon or anything else you may want to decorate with
Step One
First, you need to color in the wooden hearts with your
Fil-Stik. If you've never used it before, there's no need to
worry! Fil-Stiks are extremely easy to use. They work just like
crayons and are specially made to use on wood. Color both sides
while firmly pressing down.
Step Two
After all of your hearts are colored, it is time to glue them
together. Using a hot glue gun, place a small bead of glue on one
side of one heart near the bottom.
You will then place the bottom of the second heart in the glue,
making sure that it is at an angle (as pictured below).
You will then repeat this for the third heart, making sure to
have it angled on the other side (as pictured below) to make the
clover shape.
Step Three
Once the glue is dry and set (this should take no more than 5
minutes), get rid of any excess glue strings or fly-aways. At this
point, you can add your decorations.
Step Four
Flip your project over, and attach your magnet. And just
like that, you have a simple and cute St. Patrick's Day craft in a
short amount of time.
