Handprint Shamrock Keepsake For St. Patrick’s Day

Handprint Shamrock - St. Patrick's Day Kid Craft

Shamrock Handprint Keepsake Idea For St. Patrick’s Day

One thing you will NEVER hear me say is “I’m so glad I didn’t capture those little handprints in time.” Cause clearly – if you have been a long time of follower of Glued To My Crafts, you already know that keepsake ideas are one of my favorite things to share!

So when I was going through my personal scrapbooks the other day {actually my son pulled them out, which I thought was awesome!} I came across this Handprint Shamrock piece we made together in 2013.

Crazy to think – but I never shared this idea on Glued To My Crafts {say what?!} So I’m remedying that today and hopefully sparking some “lucky” interest in you to recreate in March!

Fun fact – in our home, we aren’t big celebrators of St Patrick’s Day {I’m actually half German and there is no Irish blood line} but this was just a small and simple craft we did together to mark the occasion during the month. My son at the time was only two years old and I vaguely remember it being pretty simple {just have patience my friends!}

Anyways – long story short, if this is something you would like to create with your child this month, keep scrolling for a super quick tutorial from us! Then when you recreate it with your little one, come share pictures of it on our Facebook page wall so we can admire it from a far! I can’t wait to see their painted shamrocks in action! Happy crafting, my friends! #gluedtomycrafts

Handprint Shamrock - St. Patrick's Day Kid Craft

CRAFT SUPPLIES: 

  • To recreate your own Handprint Shamrock Keepsake – you will need yellow/green cardstock paper, green craft paint, paint brushes, scissors, adhesive, baby wipes and little hands {my son was a little over the age of two but this craft is perfect for older children too!}

THE SIMPLE STEPS:

  • To start, simply paint your child’s hand completely green and stamp it on some yellow cardstock. Repeat these type of handprints until you have three or four prints for your shamrock.
  • Set aside your piece to let it dry completely. Clean up excess paint off hands, with baby wipes.
  • Once the handprints are dry, trim out each paper handprint with scissors.
  • Now for the assemble part. Glue your four handprints onto another sheet of cardstock, in a shamrock formation. Take some green craft paint and paint a stem to complete the look. Add a cardstock heart to the center if desired.
  • Then display as is or slip into a scrapbook to enjoy for years to come! Don’t forget to write their age, date and name somewhere on the keepsake so you remember when it was made!
