Hand-Stitched Four Leaf Clovers

Materials:

Green felt (you can use one shade or various shades like we did)
Scissors
Thread
Needle

If you aren’t someone who sews often, just head to your local dollar store where sewing kits are just a buck! You might find that it will come in handy in future projects as well.

Directions:
1. To begin, you want to cut out felt “m” shapes. These are best described as having a flat bottom and double hump on top. The size you cut these will depend on the size you wish for your clovers to be. Those pictured here were about the size of a half dollar. Since a four leaf clover has four leaves, you will want to cut out four of these shapes per one clover you wish to make.

2. Next, you want to create a mini banner with your thread and felt cut outs. Attach the thread to the needle and poke through the top of the shape. Pull through and poke back up through the felt, then poke down once more. Finish by poking upward one last time and pulling the thread through. Essentially, your needle will be moving down, up, down, up.

3. Repeat this step on each of the four cut outs. Your mini banner is complete when all four pieces have been added. Once all of the pieces have been threaded, hold the end of the thread and push all of the pieces together. As they scrunch up, you will see the felt four leaf clover take shape!

4. You may need to do a little primping to the clover to make the pieces lay nicely. Keep pulling the felt pieces tightly together, and then use the remaining thread to make a few center stitches to hold them in place.

5. When you are done, make a double stitch to secure the thread. Your felt four leaf clover is now complete!

These frugal felt four leaf clovers are perfect for crafting with! Add them to clothing, handbags, home decor, or wreaths. With a little hot glue they will adhere to anything and add some colorful charm.
