This felt shamrock is so easy to make, you can even get your kids to make their own! You can easily add these to a headband, hair clip or backpack for an easy and fun St. Patrick’s Day accessory.

We also used this craft to make a beautiful wreath for the front door this March 17th.

Why do we call this a shamrock and not a clover? A clover must have three leaves to be considered a shamrock. If we added one more leaf, it would not be considered a shamrock! We can say all shamrocks are clovers…but not all clovers are shamrocks. But, that doesn’t mean you can’t add an extra leaf to this felt craft. If you want to sport a little luck this March 17th, simply add another leaf.

Cut out three large leaves and three small leaves (or four of each if you prefer to make a lucky clover!)
