These are both easy and so cute to show off in your home to share a little bit of the Irish spirit.

When allowing the sun to shine through, the green colors come thru beautifully.

  • Different shades of green tissue paper
  • Scissors


Shamrock Suncatchers Materials

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.

Shamrock Craft

  • 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.

Shamrock Kid Craft

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

Making Kid Craft Shamrocks

  • 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.

Stained Glass Shamrock Kid Craft

  • 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.

    These are so cute. We did a similar project awhile ago for Easter. This reminded me that I need to get contact paper. My girls would love to do this!!!
