How to Create Fun and Festive St. Patrick's Day Decorations and Crafts

Here is my St. Patrick's Day TV segment from NBC affiliate WBAL. I showed how to make fun and festive St. Patrick's Day decorations and crafts to add life to your party. I always have so much fun coming up with new and unique ideas for each occasion. I also like to create my ideas using mostly stuff I already have around the house and inexpensive things from the craft store.

Special thanks to Cannatas King Cakes for the amazing and delicious King Cake!

Here are some of the DIY designs shown in the video.

I created festive Mardi Gras masks with a white plastic mask, painted with multi surface paint and 3-dimensional paint.

I have always wanted to make a Mardi Gras float. I created this dragon float from inexpensive materials and reused items. I made it from foam core, craft foam, flowers and the base is a brown box. You can easily make your own Mardi Gras themed float using things you probably already have around the house. Contact me if you would like my dragon pattern...I would be happy to send it to you!

I created these Mardi Gras themed bottles from empty bottles and multi surface paint.

 I made these cute jester hats out of glittery craft foam to jazz up my beer bottles.

Painted Bubble Wrap

I am always looking for new ways to reused what I already have on hand. For some reason, I had the idea of painting bubble wrap to give my gift bags and boxes a nice textured...almost beaded look. I was surprised how nice it came out. At first glance, it doesn't even look like bubble wrap. I created this heart gift box out of a tissue box where I cut out hearts shapes on all sides and decorated with my painted bubble wrap.

Materials

• Tissue Box
• Bubble Wrap
• Foam Brush
• Acrylic Paint
• Gold Cord
• Craft Glue
• Tissue or Decorative Mesh Fabric

1. For box design, cut off the top of a tissue box and cut the top edges into a heart shape on all sides of the box. It is best if you make a heart pattern to fit the box because you will be using it to cut out the bubble wrap as well.
2. Paint the heart box light pink.
3. Paint the bubble wrap with the foam brush. It is nice how the paint only attaches to the bubbles.

4. Cut out four heart shapes to match the ones cut out on the box and attach with craft glue.
5. Glue the gold cord around the heart to outline the heart.
6. Fill the box with tissue or decorative mesh fabric.


I liked the look of the painted bubble wrap so much that I also used it to cover votive candle holders. They have such a pretty glow when the lights are dimmed.



Paint a strip of bubble wrap the size to wrap around the votive candle. Attach it to the votive with double-sided tape. I only use battery tea lights with these because I don't want to risk melting the bubble wrap.

Easy to Make Elsa's Ice Castle from Disney Frozen

Here on the East Coast, we have had our fair share of below freezing temperatures and snowy days this year. I thought I would embrace the winter spirit and show how to make my version of Elsa's Ice Castle from the movie Frozen. I was even able to put my Ice Castle in real ice and snow to give it the Frozen effect. The snow really brings the castle to life. I create Elsa's Ice Castle design on a box with a lid so it can be used as a decoration, gift box, or storage container.

Here is a free downloadable pattern for my design.
