DIYs for St.Patrick's Day
SP rainbow 9
Time for some St.Patrick's Day decorating!! I know that St. Patrick's Day is usually all about the green decor, but I thought I would change it up this year to make it brighter and more fun. I made a colorful rainbow with tissue paper topped with tissue paper clouds, turned rocks into my own pot of gold, made a leprechaun hat from a flower pot, and created flower beer mugs. I put these all in one post (except the mugs), because they are actually really easy!

Tissue Paper Rainbow and Clouds
1 large sheet of tissue paper that is each color in the rainbow
tape
4-5 large tissue paper pom poms
scissors
Directions:
*Cut the tissue paper in half lengthwise
*Fold that in half, then in half again
*Then fold it in half the other way so that the open ends are all facing the same way
*Cut the ends toward the folded edge leaving about an inch or so uncut
*Unfold the tissue paper
*Repeat with the other half and tape them together to achieve the desired length

Pot of Gold
a flower pot (or any pot you would like)
rocks
gold spray paint
Directions:
*If you don't have a black pot you can paint it black
*Clean the rocks so that they don't have dirt on them
*Spray the rocks with the gold spray paint; spray at least 8 inches away for even paint distribution; it's best to do it outdoors
*When the rocks are dry place them into the pot
*You can fill the pot half way through with a towel so that you don't have to spray a whole bunch of rocks
(These are surrounded by Homemade Peppermint Patties)

Flower Pot Leprechaun Hat
Paint a flower pot green! You can either glue a black ribbon onto it or paint a line with black paint. For the buckle I cut a square out of white paper, painted it gold, and covered it in gold glitter. I filled the small hole at the top with shamrock decorations from Michael's.
