What you'll need:

  • Green construction paper
  • 2 Green chenille stems
  • Tape
  • Glue
  • Stapler
  • Scissors
  • Ruler
  • Pencil
  • Heart shapes (tiny cookie cutters, Woodsies, etc.)

How to make it:

  1. Trace around the heart shapes 4 times lining up the sides of the hearts together to form a ring of hearts. Cut out.
  2. Repeat above step 3 additional times.
  3. Make some small snips between the hearts (not all the way through!) to show the petals of the shamrocks.
  4. Cut 2 strips of green construction paper about 1 1/2 inches wide. Tape one end together and try on child's head. Cut and tape to fit. Remove from child's head.
  5. Staple one chenille stem to the outside of the green paper ring.
  6. Staple the other chenille stem to the opposite side of the green paper ring. (Note: You can use wire cutters and cut the stem in half to make shorter wiggling shamrocks if desired.)
  7. Glue 2 shamrocks to the opposite end of each of the chenille stems. Let dry.
  8. Place on the child's head and have some fun!
