How To Make St. Patrick’s Day Shamrocks

• Stencil out a shamrock either on a separate sheet of construction paper or right on your green construction paper.  
• We made large shamrocks, but you can make them any size you would like.  
• Once you have your shamrock stenciled or drawn fold it in half and go ahead and cut around the inside middle area.
• You want the shamrock shape with a hole in the middle.

• Cut out two squares of contact paper that will cover your entire shamrock.  
• With a little help from your artist pull the contact paper apart with the sticky side up.  
• Do this slowly so that your contact paper doesn’t stick together or crinkle up.

• Gently stick your shamrock pattern right on the sticky side of your contact paper.

• Cut the tissue paper into strips and then into squares of different sizes.  
• Have your little ones stick the tissue paper flat right in the center of the shamrock covering all the sticky areas.  
• This is a really nice quiet craft to do at home and it’s not messy at all.

• Using the second piece of contact paper you cut out and some help again from your little artist pull apart the contact paper from its paper.  
• Gently and carefully starting from the middle stick that second layer of contact paper on the side where the tissue paper is on.  
• You’re basically laminating your shamrock with contact paper. 
• If you have a laminating machine you can use that as well.  
• I like using the contact paper because I think the light comes through better.
