Make a Tissue Paper Shamrock Craft

Draw a shamrock on a piece of green construction paper. Shamrocks have three heart-shaped leaves! Cut out the shamrock.

Trace the shamrock onto a piece of cardboard. Cut the shamrock from the piece of cardboard and glue it to the back of the construction paper shamrock for stability.

Cut out a lot of one-inch squares of green tissue paper.

Add tissue paper rosettes one by one to the green side of the shamrock cut-out. To do this, wrap a tissue paper square around the eraser end of a pencil to make a little rosette.

Then, with the rosette still wrapped around the pencil, dip its bottom in a dap of glue.

Place the rosette on the shamrock cut-out and use your fingers to carefully slide it off of the pencil. The rosette should stand up on its own.

Continue adding rosettes to the shamrock cut-out until it's completely covered.

Optional: Cut long strips of colored tissue paper in a rainbow of colors. Tape them to the back of the shamrock cut-out in rainbow order, so that they hang down below the shamrock.

Hang the shamrock tissue paper decoration on your door or on the wall to decorate your space for St. Patrick's Day!
