Paper Shamrock Love Plant – St. Patrick’s Day Kid Craft

Hi friends! Welcome to our Terra Cotta Shamrock Love Plant kid craft tutorial! I’m so glad you landed on our tutorial and have decided to check it out today!

On that note, you probably already know that St Patty’s Day is fast approaching. Like REALLY fast!

With every holiday that passes by, it’s a good excuse for me {and you} to do crafts with our children centered around the time of year. So without further ado and the theme of all things lucky & green – today I’m sharing this “Shamrock Love Plant” kid craft idea.

Like all my kid craft tutorials, the supplies are super affordable and the craft itself – REALLY EASY!.

Now let’s grab our supplies, check out the tutorial below and get to crackin’!

Happy crafting, my friends! Please don’t forget to share pictures of your finished paper shamrock love plants with us on our Facebook page! I’m sure they are going to turn out awesome! #gluedtomycrafts

Shamrock Love Plant Craft Supplies:
* Green Colored Cardstock
* Large Heart Punch {Stampin’ Up}
* Terra Cotta Pot {Dollar Tree}
* Various Crafts Paints – Green, Yellow, Gold
* Paint Brushes/Sponges
* Popsicle Stick
* Large Glue Dots
* Green Play-dough

Directions:
1. Have your child paint their pot however they want. Let their imagination go wild! Once done, set aside to let it dry completely.

2. While they are painting – cut out FOUR heart punches {or cut out by free hand} With the leftover paint, I let Lil Man sponge paint the heart cutouts. Set those aside to let it dry completely.

3. Once everything is dry – it’s time to assemble. Take your popsicle stick and arrange your heart cutouts into a shamrock shape. Use glue dots to attach them to the popsicle stick.

4. Press a chunk of green play-dough into the clay pot. Now “plant” your new shamrock in the play-dough.

You can either use this Shamrock Love Plant as a decoration in your home or gift it to a friend to spread the “luck.” And as always – you can always change out the colors to reflect what you have/want.
