Glitter Shamrock Craft

18Mar09

This is my favorite St. Patrick’s Day craft. The glitter can be messy but the out come is beautiful. The glitter shamrock’s are really easy to make for all ages.

What you need:

  • 3 wooden hearts
  • Green glitter
  • Green Acrylic Paint
  • Paint brush
  • Glue

(1)Paint you hearts Green and let dry. (2) Put glue on both edges of the first heart and form a clover shape by pressing the other two hearts on either side of heart one. Let the glue dry. (3)Once the hearts are glued together forming a 3 leaf clover paint on a layer of glue over the top of your clover. (4) Sprinkle green glitter over the glue. (5) Shake of lose glitter and sprinkle on more glitter till all the spaces a filled. Let the glue dry.

Now you might ask what can I do with this Shamrock I just made. I have seen them used as coasters for drinks and as magnets. If you use it as a coaster be sure to spray with a craft sealant to secure the glitter. To make the shamrock a magnet, just place a magnet with an adhesive back to the clover or glue a magnet on.
