Easy Shamrock Wreath Craft for Kids with Printable Shamrock Template

This Saint Patrick’s Day craft is easily made using the free printable shamrock template and just a few inexpensive materials. Since the Shamrock Wreath is such an inexpensive craft, it lends itself perfectly for doing with a whole class or with just one child.

Because this craft is a shamrock (three-leaf clover), instead of a four leaf clover, it is also a great craft to do when learning about the Trinity. Saint Patrick used the three-leaf clover to teach about the Holy Trinity when he was a missionary in Ireland.

Shamrock Paper Craft Supplies

  • Cardstock
  • Construction paper or tissue paper, in shades of green or whatever colors you prefer – even a rainbow of colors!
  • Scissors
  • Pencil
  • Craft glue or hot glue
  • Shamrock template printable


Shamrock Wreath Paper Craft Instructions

1. Select any colored cardstock for the base of your shamrock wreath. Print and cut out the shamrock wreath pattern from the free printable template download.

Trace the template onto your cardstock and cut it out. Conversely, you can print the template directly onto the cardstock and then cut it out.

2. Get out your green colored construction or tissue papers (or use whatever colors you want) and cut them into small square pieces, approximately 1 inch by 1 inch. They don’t have to be perfectly square.
