3D Shamrock Paper Craft

This is a cute, simple paper craft that results in a 3D ornament you can hang around the room.

	printer
	paper (I prefer construction paper as it's a bit sturdier)
	scissors
	OPTIONAL: crayons (or paint, markers, etc)
	string, thread, ribbon or wool

	Print template and color as desired
	Cut out the template pieces (may require adult assistance and can be done before hand.
	Fold the shamrocks so they are two sided.
	Cut on one of the dotted lines right up to the center.
	Slide two shamrocks together, top to bottom all I have is the snowflake image to show you how it's done
	Glue a ribbon or thread onto the top (or hole punch a small hole and tie a ribbon through (I used a thread and it worked really well)

instead of simply coloring the template, here are some thoughts for alternatives:

green sparkles or sparkle glue

Salt Drip

	3 parts flour
	1 part salt
	food coloring (green would be nice)
	water Mix together 3 parts flour, 1 part salt, food coloring, and enough water to make a dripping consistency but not too runny. Use a popsicle stick to drip onto paper shapes. Will dry hard and sparkly.

grated chalk (take a piece of sidewalk or chalkboard chalk and rub it with course sandpaper to get chalk dust. Pour the dust over glue covered paper.

	There are some brief instructions written right on the template
	Close template window when done printing to return to this screen.
	Set page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the template on one page (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers).
