This craft is brought to you by Jennifer Walker . These Puffy Shamrocks are a festive decoration for St. pat's day. She generously offered this fun and easy craft for kids and adults alike. Thanks Jen ! What you need: Colored paper Scissors Glitter, string, paint -items to decorate with Glue Stapler Newspaper What to do: Cut two shamrocks from white or light colored paper. If the child(ren) is old enough, have them practice their cutting skills by cutting it out. Next decorate one side of each piece. They can sponge paint, string paint, markers, glue and glitter, whatever. Next, staple the two shapes together, leaving a hole at the top. Stuff with crumpled up newspaper and finish stuffing. Voila! A Puffy shamrock! Ideas from you From: Cheryl MomsMenu@aol.com I like the idea & will try it with my children, but instead of using a stapler, I will use a hole punch & have them thread string thru the holes & leave extra at the top so we can hang it.
