I decided to make two different colorful printable designs for you. Use them as your phone wallpaper or print them and hang them up, or why not both?!
DIY Gold And Rainbow Mirror
I paired the rainbow wall hanging wood cut piece with a half circle of gold acrylic that I cut with my laser. Not only is it cute for year round decor, but I thought it especially fun decor for St. Patrick’s day. Like the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow!
DIY Paper Rainbow Brooch
I understand that it can be a bit difficult to wear a complete rainbow in one outfit. But, for situations where a stunning, very expensive, rainbow dress wouldn’t be acceptable, you can wear this DIY paper rainbow brooch! A tiny touch of rainbow that you can put on just about everything!

I got a little carried away with the soap making, but I just had to try them in all the colors! I think the seafoam blue and pink version might be my favorite. What’s yours?

DIY Rainbow Trinket Box
I decided to make this DIY Rainbow Trinket Box with a modern twist on the rainbow.

DIY Air Dry Clay Rainbow Decoration

DIY Terracotta Clay Ornaments
Terracotta clay ornaments! They’re super easy to make, super affordable, and actually look like something you’ll want to put on the tree.
DIY Painted Terracitta Rainbow Earrings
Amongst the many reasons terracotta is my favorite color, it’s an all-season neutral that makes it the perfect hue and material to transition summer trends into fall. Pair it with bright whites and soft pinks? Summer. Pair it with deeper mustards and tweed browns? Autumn. Make tiny mantle reindeer? Yes, because terracotta clay is versatile. But enough about my obsession, let’s get into making these DIY terracotta rainbow earrings!
DIY Rainbow Earrings
I’m loving all the interesting and creative ways bloggers are incorporating them into their projects and decor, and it completely inspired me to have a go at making these rainbow inspired earrings.
