Materials

  • Assorted green pipe cleaners
  • Vase optional

Instructions

  • Begin by making a figure eight with a pipe cleaner.
  • Repeat this step with a second pipe cleaner.
  • You will now have two, figure eight arrangements. These will act as the four leaves of your shamrock.
  • Twist the center of your figure eights well so that they stay tight and secure. Press the two figure eights together, using a piece of pipe cleaner to attach the two.
  • Wrap the piece around the center multiple times until tight.
  • Use your fingers to shape the leaves of your shamrock.
  • Take an additional pipe cleaner and tie it to the bottom of the clover. This will act as your stem. You can make your stem as short or long as you wish.
