Method:

To start, print the template provided at the end of this project and cut out the shapes.

outlining shamrock

Draw around the template on the darkest green paper and cut out the large shamrock.

cut out the pieces

Cut out three of each size of the smaller heart shapes.

Fold over each heart in the middle as you see in the picture.

Gluing petals

Put a thin string of glue on the back of the fold of the larger hearts. Hold in place in the middle of each shamrock petal for a few seconds until it stays in place. You want it to stick up a bit on the sides, not lie flat on the shamrock.

Gluing petal

Do the same for the lightest shade of green small heart shapes.
