It’s time for Shamrocks!
Hi Scribblers!
As February comes to a close it’s time to start getting festively Irish with shamrocks!
Make your own Pot O’ Gold Shamrock Garden!
To make this craft you will need:
- Pipe Cleaners
- Green, Yellow and White Foam
- Green and Gold Glitter Glue
- A Terra-cotta pot
- Green Buttons
- Hot Glue Gun and Hot Glue Sticks
- Green Ribbon
- Artificial Moss
- Gold Chocolate Coins
To start, draw a heart shape onto a piece of paper. The heart should be about 2 1/4 inches high by 2 1/4 inches across. Cut out the heart shape and trace onto colorful foam. Each shamrock will require four heart shapes.
Cut out the heart shapes and lay out the pieces so that each of the 4 points of the heart shapes meets at the center. Use the hot glue gun to glue these together and secure with a button or chocolate coin.
Decorate your shamrock with glitter glue or glittery foam for embellishment.
Let glitter glue dry. Hot glue a pipe cleaner to the back of the shamrock. Tie a green ribbon bow to the bottom of each stem.
Place shamrocks into the terra-cotta pot and keep these in place with artificial moss as “stuffing.” Fill the top of the pot with gold coins, put on display and enjoy!
This craft is a great treat to make with the kids and put on display for guests!
