What you'll need:

How to make it:

1. Cut the paper plate in half. Paint it with craft paint in this order: red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple. Use our photo as a guide. Let dry completely and paint the other side as well.
2. Cut shamrock garland into 18" strips.
3. Glue each strip to the back of the paper plate.
4. If you like, instead of store-bought garland, make your own shamrocks from construction paper and glue to lengths of string or yarn.
5. Tie a piece of ribbon into a knot, then glue to the back of the plate to use as a hanger.
   

Tips:

   • Foam plates work well for this project. They have smoothe edges and paint
     sticks right to them.
   • Make a 3-D mobile by painting two paper plate halves. Glue them together
     and hang your shamrock from the bottom.
   • Have something fun for the kids to do during the drying time so they don't
     jump the gun and grab their projects too soon.
