I had a bunch of leftover nail polish that I didn’t want to throw out and some extra air-dry clay from a different craft, so I figured—why not try something new and creative? That’s how these butterfly and dragonfly wands came to life.

I wasn’t aiming for perfection, just looking for something creative to do with what I already had. But once I dipped those little wings into the polish and saw the beautiful marbling effect, I knew I had to make more. It was way more satisfying than I expected—and honestly kind of addictive.

These DIY wands aren’t just for fun—they’re surprisingly useful too. I love sticking them into potted plants to add a pop of color, especially in the kitchen or on a balcony. They make plain planters look more playful and alive.

You can also tuck them into garden beds
