St. Patrick's Day Party Decorations

Hi all, this is Britni from Play. Party. Pin. again. I love using letters on my party table, and these St. Patrick’s Day letters are great for simple St. Patrick’s Day party decorations.

One of the keys to putting together a fantastic party table is to add a variety of heights. Adding letters or other decorative elements allows you to add height in a different way than using tall cake stands or flowers. And with these letters only taking a few minutes to make, they’re the perfect solution.

Supplies:

Wood or chipboard letters
Leprechaun green paint
Metallic gold paint
Gold glitter or gold glitter spray
2 paint brushes
Trash bag or painting drop cloth (to paint on top of)

Directions:

Step 1 – Put your letters on top of your trash bag or drop cloth so that you don’t get paint all over the place and so that you can just throw it away once you’re done.

Step 2 – Start out by painting your LCKY letters with the leprechaun green paint. Let paint dry then paint another coat if the color underneath is showing through at all.

Step 3 – While your other letters are drying, paint the U with the metallic gold paint. Then sprinkle with gold glitter or spray with the gold glitter spray. Allow to dry.

Step 4 – If desired, paint the sides of the letters gold and green. I knew I was going to be using these with head on photos, so I didn’t bother painting the sides.

Step 5 – After letters are completely dry, place on your party table either flat down (if you already have tall elements) or standing up.

In addition to painting letters, I love to cover letters with different materials, fill ceramic ones with colorful candy, and use them in other various ways in my parties. Here are a couple of other examples of some of the parties I’ve used words in to add a big impact.
