St. Patrick’s Day is tomorrow! Do you decorate your house in green four-leaf clovers and shamrocks? Maybe some leprechauns and pots of gold? Here is a super simple way to make some greenery for tomorrow! All you need is a piece of green paper, a green pipe cleaner, scissors, a pencil and some tape. Start by making a square piece from the green paper.
First we will make a four-leaf clover. Fold the green square in half.
Then fold the paper in half the other direction.
Use your pencil to draw a heart shape on this little folded square. Keep the folded side at the bottom.
Use your scissors to cut on the line you just drew.
Open the paper up and you have a four-leaf clover! đ
Turn your four-leaf clover over and tape the pipe cleaner to the back side.
Turn the four-leaf clover right side up again and there is your finished project! Great job! You can go on to color or decorate it if you want to.
Now, using the same idea as we did for the four-leaf clover, we can make a shamrock with just a couple of cuts with the scissors. Cut on the fold lines and remove one heart shape.
There is your shamrock! Tape the pipe cleaner to the back to have a stem for your shamrock. If you would like to, you can cut on the folds where the heart shapes meet, but only cut about half way. Then the leaves on your shamrock can separate a little.
I hope you will have lots of fun making four-leaf clovers and shamrocks for St. Patrick’s Day! đ
