Quick and Easy Shamrock DIY

March 15, 2022 in Tutorial by Tiffany Boushey

My daughters informed me that we don’t have any St. Patrick’s Day decorations at our house and I needed to do something about it. I searched my house for any type of green craft supplies and came up with some felt and fleece to create a quick and easy shamrock.

Supplies Needed

  • Green felt or fleece
  • Needle and thread
  • Scissors
  • Optional supplies for making a leaf template:
    • Paper
    • Pencil
    • Ruler

Template

Making yourself a template for the leaves is optional. You can make them any size you like but I’ll show the measurements that I used for reference. Or you can get crazy and just cut them freehand.

  • Draw a quadrilateral that is slightly narrower at that bottom than the top. Mine is 1.5″ at the bottom, 2″ at the top, and 2″ tall.
  • Draw two rounded bumps at the top.
  • Cut it out, then fold it in half vertically and trim around any edges so that both sides are the same.

Cut the Leaves

  • Use your template (or go freehand) and cut 4 leaves for each shamrock you are making.

Sew

  • Take your needle and thread and weave it in and out along the bottom edge of the first leaf.
  • Continue weaving the needle and thread along the other 3 leaves until all 4 of them are threaded on.
  • Pull the thread to gather the bottom edges and pull them all together.
  • Once the bottom edge is gathered, insert the needle into the starting place of the first leaf and pull the thread to close the center.
  • Once the center is closed, sew the gathered section securely with several stitches.

Hang up your shamrocks, hot glue them to sticks for a bouquet, or even glue to hairclips for a cute St. Patrick’s Day accessory!
