Holiday Wreaths: Irish Shamrocks
I love making wreaths with my kids to decorate our home for the holidays because holiday wreaths aren’t just for Christmas anymore! So here’s how to make a wreath for St. Patrick’s Day! Since Irish leprechauns are harder to trace, I decided we’d make a wreath out of Irish shamrocks.
What You Need to Make Wreath of Irish Shamrocks:
- Card Stock
- Green Construction Paper
- Pencil
- Scissors
- Glue
How to Make Wreath of Irish Shamrocks:
1. Create a shamrock template on a piece of card stock by tracing a shamrock and cutting it out. You can trace this Irish shamrock to get the size of shamrock we used.
2. Fold two pieces of green construction paper into thirds.
(This is so you can cut out three shamrocks at a time.)
3. Trace two Irish shamrocks onto each piece of folded construction paper.
4. Cut out each traced shamrock creating a total of twelve Irish shamrocks.
5. Arrange the Irish shamrocks in the shape of a wreath.
6. Glue the Irish shamrocks together at the edges so they create the shape of a wreath.
Making holiday wreaths out of Irish shamrocks is a festive way to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day!
