Supplies for Paper Bag Shamrock
- Paint (different shades of green)
- Recycled brown shopping bag
- Fiber fill or shredded paper
- Scissors
- Shamrock template
- Foam brush
- Stapler
- Glitter (optional)
Directions
- First, you will have to download, print and cut the shamrock template. You can also draw your own shamrock if you prefer.
- Next, trace two copies of the shamrock on the brown paper bag.
- Cut out your paper bag shamrocks. If you have small children, make sure they are using safety scissors.
- Paint one of the paper bag shamrocks. This will be the front side of your craft. You can add glitter but that’s optional.
- Staple the sides of the paper bag shamrocks. Work your way around the edge, stapling a half inch apart. Leave some space at the top and possibly the sides.
- Finally, stuff your paper shamrock with fiber fill then staple it until it’s completely sealed. If you are not a fan of using a stapler for this project, use a hole punch and yarn instead. You could also use double-sided tape.
