Avoid being pinched this St. Patty's
day with these lucky pins. The shamrocks are made with fingerprints!

Paint a wood disc green and leave to
dry. Follow up with a cluster of fingerprints in metallic Folk Art paint.

Outline the fingerprints in gold
permanent marker to give it a clover shape. More doodles can be added to the
surface as well with markers.

Adhere a gem to the center of the
clover with Mod Podge. Apply a coat of Dimensional Magic. Laying the piece on a
bed of rice keeps it level while it dries.

Once dry, the Dimensional Magic leaves
a shiny seal over the marker and paint.

Glue a pin back onto the wood piece. To
make it really jazzy add ribbons and trim!
