Glittered Horseshoe DIY Garland

Horseshoes are one of the luckiest symbols around, so what better way to invite some luck o’ the Irish into your home this St. Patrick’s Day than by creating a cute horseshoe DIY garland that sparkles and shines? Easy and oh-so-fun to make, this festive decoration will add a pop of green to your classroom, party decorations, mantel and more. Let’s get started!

Glittered-horseshoe-DIY-garland-DariceGlittered Horseshoe DIY Garland Supplies:

  • Darice 3.5 x 3.3″ Wood Horseshoe Cutouts.
  • Green Craft Paint.
  • Darice Extra Fine Glitter, Green.
  • Darice Extra Fine Glitter, Lime Green.
  • Mod Podge.
  • Foam Brushes.
  • Hole Punch & Scissors.
  • Darice Green and Yellow Baker’s Twine.
  • Darice Ribbon in Green, Yellow and White.

Using the foam brush, paint the front surface of each horseshoe with the craft paint. Allow to dry completely.

Apply a thin layer of Mod Podge over the surface of each painted horseshoe with a foam brush. Sprinkle generously with glitter; shake off excess. Allow the Mod Podge to dry completely before applying another layer of glitter in the same manner for complete, even coverage.

Glittered-horseshoe-DIY-garland-Darice-6When the glittered layer is dry, punch a hole through either side of each horseshoe as shown.

Cut a piece of baker’s twine long enough to accommodate each of the horseshoes with about 2″ of space between each one. Thread the twine through the holes of the horseshoes to string them onto the garland.

Glittered-horseshoe-DIY-garland-Darice-8Cut 4-5″ sections of ribbon and tie them around the twine in the spaces between each horseshoe. Twist and layer the pieces until you have achieved the desired look.

Now, all that’s left is to find a place to display your new DIY garland creation. Your glittered horseshoe DIY garland is complete!

I love the idea of using a similar concept to make a St. Patrick’s Day wreath. You just can’t go wrong with ribbon and glitter!

Glittered-horseshoe-DIY-garland-Darice-1Your St. Patrick’s Day is sure to be the luckiest ever when you craft adorable decorations to enjoy throughout the season!
