Dollar Store Shamrock Craft

An easy and quick shamrock craft using dollar tree supplies
Total Time10 minutes
Servings: 1 shamrock
Author: Stephy
Cost: $3

Equipment

  • 1 pair of scissors
  • 1 X-ACTO knife
  • 1 hot glue gun
  • ½ glue stick
  • 1 foam brush and/or paint brush
  • 1 pen or pencil

Ingredients

  • 1 wooden shamrock
  • 1 piece scrapbook paper
  • twine
  • chalk paint white

Instructions

  • Paint your shamrock with the chalk paint and let it dry. It may need two coats, but mine didn't.
  • Trace the shape of the one of the "hearts" on the back of your scrapbook paper with your pencil or pen and cut it out. It doesn't have to be a perfect match, but it's better to have excess paper on the sides than trim it down too much. We will trim it down more later.
  • Make 2 other copies of that heart shape on your scrapbook paper by using the first one as a template.
  • Brush the back of each piece of scrapbook paper with Mod Podge and align it with the heart shapes on the shamrock and press it down. Let it dry for a few minutes.
  • Take an x-acto knife and trim along the edges of the paper anywhere that isn't perfectly aligned.
  • Glue twine around the edges of the hearts using your hot glue gun. This is an optional step, but it adds some detail and hides any imperfections!
  • Loop twine around the holes at the top for hanging.
