Proudly display these darling lucky blocks where everyone can see them this St. Patrick's Day!
Be sure to visit our main St. Patrick's Day index for more lucky fun including more crafts, printables and recipes.
What you'll need:
- 5 wooden blocks
- Light green and green acrylic paint
- Paintbrush
- Gold paint pen
- White or clear glitter glue
How to make it:
- Paint three of the blocks green and the other two blocks light green and let dry. (See photo.)
- Use a gold paint pen to write the letters L, U, C, K, and Y, one on each block. (See photo.)
- Squeeze some glitter glue on to the top of each block and spread out with a paintbrush. (See photo.) Use the brush and excess glitter glue from the top to add glitter to the sides and front as well. Let dry completely.
Tips:
- Wood blocks are available at your local craft supply store.
- Children's alphabet blocks can be used for this project. Simply paint and go over the raised letters with gold paint pen.
- The color green is associated with St. Patrick's Day because it is the color of spring, Ireland, and shamrocks.
