The way to make your Paper Shamrock Accoridion Craft:
I’ve created each a video and step-by-step photograph tutorial for you! The video is on autoplay for you – or scroll to the very backside of this publish for the video tutorial on youtube!
Put together your Shamrock Leaves
Start by tracing and slicing 3 circles. Our circle was a bit smaller than a CD… If you’re utilizing your paper fan shamrock on a greeting card, chances are you’ll wish to use one thing measurement of a tin can or cup. Preserve your paper scraps, as you have to a chunk for the stem later.
Fold your Shamrock leaves into Hearts
Fold your circles into neat accordions – now we folded our circle in half first, then in half once more.. to be able to get some “information traces” for neat folding. We had 16 folds in instructed – 8 on all sides. It’s not an actual science and if working with youthful youngsters, you don’t must be that correct. I used to be simply being a paper fan neat freak and needed the proper accordion folds.
Fold your accordion paper strips in half. And glue half approach up (not all the best way). Repeat for all three “paper hearts”.
Keep in mind so as to add a chunk of thread to ONE of your three 3 shamrock leaves in the event you want to grasp it. Merely glue inbetween the fold.
Make your Stem
After you have made your 3 inexperienced paper hearts, you might want to make your stem. Cute rectangluar piece of paper (once more, I simply guessed!). Concertina it up. You may trim it later.
Assembling your Paper Shamrock Ornament
Now glue your three paper hearts collectively.
Gently pull appart and glue your paper fan stem between the “backside two hearts”. It is a bit fiddly and if working with youthful youngsters chances are you’ll wish to help them. Alternatively, you possibly can glue a “flat” piece of rectangular paper” to the again of the hearts (a bit like we did for our 3d Paper Shamrock right here). That is fast and simpler!
