DLTK's Holiday Crafts for Kids
3D Shamrock
Paper Craft
This is a cute, simple paper craft that results in a 3D ornament
you can hang around the room.
Materials:
- printer
- paper (I prefer construction paper as it's a bit sturdier)
- scissors
- OPTIONAL: crayons (or paint, markers, etc)
- string, thread, ribbon or wool
Instructions:
- 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)

Options:
- 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.
