This craft is some much fun and we think it’s one of the cutest we’ve shared! Watching your children create their own leprechaun house is fantastic. Younger kids will enjoy finger painting their house while older children will enjoy adding unique details like windows or roof designs. A great activity for the classroom.

What do you need to make a cute Kid’s Lucky Leprechaun House?

• Miniature birdhouse
• Wood circle
• Paint
• Paper, silk or felt flowers
• Glue gun
• Gold sequins
• Black marker

How do you make a Fun Kid’s Lucky Leprechaun House?

• Paint the birdhouse
• Paint the wood circle light brown
• Attach the birdhouse
• Draw on tiny footprints with a black marker (littles might need help with this part)
• Glue on flowers and other decorations
• Glue on gold pieces (golden sequins)

Easy to Follow Photo Tutorial!

First, paint the birdhouse. Since our helper is young he used his fingers to paint the birdhouse! Finger painting is a great activity to help develop fine motor skills. It’s fun to see what each child paints, how much detail they add and what colours they choose.

Next, paint the wood circle light brown. Set it aside to dry completely then attach the birdhouse using glue.

Draw tiny footprints onto the wooden base with a black marker. Littles may need help creating the footprints.

Then, glue on the flowers. Add as many as you or your child like!

Finally, glue on the gold pieces (gold sequins!)

What do you need to make a St. Patrick’s Day Home Decor?

• Wooden square
• Four small wooden hearts
• Paint – white, green
• Sandpaper
• Glue
• Green glitter
• Hot glue

How do you make a DIY Clover Hearts Home Decor?

First, paint a wooden square green. Set it aside to let it dry completely before beginning in the next step.

Next, paint a layer of white over the green. Set it aside to dry once more.

Using a fine sandpaper, sand the white paint to reveal the green underneath. Vary the pressure throughout the wooden square to create more or less green. The design is up to you!

Once the square is finished you can begin to decorate the small wooden hearts. Start by covering the hearts with glue.

Then, cover them in glitter! Be sure to press the glitter into the heart firmly.

Finally, glue the wooden, glittery hearts onto the square.

That’s it! This piece looks great on the mantel or on the table as a festive addition to your table setting. Enjoy!

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.

What do you need to make a How to Make a Simple Felt Shamrock?

• FREE printable
• Green felt in 2-4 shades
• Green embroidery thread
• A needle (kid friendly if you have little ones)
• Hot glue gun with glue
• Shamrock sequin
• Pin, hair clip or headband or wreath *optional*

How do I make an easy Felt Shamrock?

• Print and cut out our FREE leaf template
• Place the large leaf template on top of some felt
• Place the small leaf template on top of a different colour of felt (you can pin these down or trace around them to make it easier to cut out)
• Cut out three large and three small leaves (or four if you prefer to make a lucky clover!)
• Fold one of the leaf pieces in half lengthwise. Next, pass the threaded embroidery needle through the bottom of the leaf.
• Continue to add all the leaves, similarly, until they are all on the needle.
• Then, pull the needle through the leaves, and tie the tails tightly into a knot, gathering each leaf tightly as you work.
• Next, hot glue the shamrock to the pin, hair clip or headband
• OR add your shamrocks to a beautiful front door wreath!

How to Make a Simple Felt Shamrock for St. Patrick’s Day – Tutorial

Print and cut out our FREE leaf template

Place the large leaf template on top of some felt and the small leaf template on a different shade of green. You can pin the template to the felt or trace around the template to make cutting easier. Keep in mind that you may see marks on the final shamrock if you choose to trace.

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

Fold one of the leaf pieces in half lengthwise. Next, pass the threaded embroidery needle through the bottom of the leaf.

Continue to add all the leaves, similarly, until they are all on the needle.

Then, pull the needle through the leaves, and tie the tails tightly into a knot, gathering each leaf tightly as you work.

Next, hot glue a shamrock sequin to the middle of the shamrock for some shine!

What you’ll need:

• Glitter (or plain) paper in green and gold
• Clover punch
• Heart punch
• Twine
• Stapler
• Mini Clothespins
• Canvas or wood board

Let’s make our St. Patrick’s Day Clover Canvas!

To begin, punch out (you can cut them out if you don’t have a punch) 9 shamrocks from the green paper. You can always make more or less clover, depending on the look you want and the size of your canvas.

Punch or cut out one heart from the gold paper.

Staple one end of the twine to the back of the canvas, close to the top. Wrap the twine around the front and then staple the other end to the back of the canvas, to the opposite side. Repeat this step three or four more times.

Use the mini clothespins to clip the clover onto the twine. We spaced our clover out evenly and placed them all in the same direction, but you could also switch things up hang them crooked, in different directions or bunched together! There’s no wrong way to finish this St. Patrick’s Day Clover Canvas.

Remember to add the gold heart!

We hope you have a super fun St. Patrick’s Day, happy crafting! If you’re looking for more green fun, check out our Lucky Green Smash, our Chocolate Peppermint Cupcakes, and our Rainbow Kids Finger-painting Craft!

These little decorations are super fun, and surprisingly soothing, to make. There are a few different ways to wrap yarn, and they’re all easy! We like the look of the circular method we used for our balls. But, all the methods really work great, plus they are so, so easy and really inexpensive to put together!

What you’ll need:

• Styrofoam balls (5 or more, depending on the size you have)
• Yarn
• Glue
• Scissors
• Optional: Pins, popsicle stick, cotton swab or paint brush

Let’s Make Some Lucky Green Balls!

Start with a dollop of glue on the top of one of the Styrofoam balls.

This step is optional – but we found it helpful to add a pin to the yarn to hold it in place while the glue is still wet.

Begin twirling the yarn tightly around itself, sticking it to the glue as you go. Try not to leave any gaps in the yarn.

Add glue as you are wrapping to hold the yarn in place.

Keep wrapping until the entire ball is covered and then snip the yarn off at the top circle. Wrapping the top of the ball will be a little more difficult, you will need to gently push the yarn to keep any gaps from forming as you go.

Copy the same steps again with some white or cream yarn.

And then again with another green yarn. This technique works equally well for both thinner and thicker yarns.

To make our rainbow ball, use the exact same steps as the solid coloured balls. The difference here will be the transition between each colour.

To do this, mark on the ball where you want each colour to end with a pen. Start at the top as usual, using the glue and wrapping the yarn. When you reach the first mark, cut off the yarn and glue the end to the ball. Start the next colour by layering the new colour overtop of the cut end (blue over purple in our example).

Continue this technique with each colour to cover the entire ball.

All done!
