We're sorry, there seems to be an issue playing this video. Please refresh the page or try again in a moment. If you continue to have issues, please contact us here.
Materials Needed:
- craft felt in assorted shades of green
- embroidery needle
- embroidery thread
- hot glue gun
- ribbon
- large safety pin
- child's hair clip
Cut Felt Into Strips
Cut a 1-inch strip of felt. (For a large shamrock, make the strip 1.5 inches wide.) Then, cut the strip into four equal pieces.
Create Petals
Cut an "m"-shaped notch into each felt piece, about halfway up. Repeat for remaining felt pieces, using first piece as a template.
String Petals Together
Put two stiches into each petal, stringing them all onto embroidery thread. Pull thread tight, cinching the petals together.
Create Shamrock Shape
Tie in a knot and trim excess thread. Then open the petals and pull them into a shamrock shape.
Add Shamrock to Accessories
Using hot glue, affix shamrock to hair clip, safety pin or ribbon.
Wear Your Shamrocks
