Teaching Thursdays: Lucky Clover Pins

By Candie Cooper - See more crafts by Candie on her blog, Candie Cooper's Journal




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!
