Children creative. Souvenir SHAMROCK - Symbol of Ireland and St. Patrick`s Day

For those who are interested in new kids craft ideas before St. Patrick`s Day, we`d like to offer to make SHAMROCK, a symbol of this holiday, which brings luck and prosperity. It may be a lovely souvenir or a beautiful brooch for your dear ones.

SHAMROCK

You`ll Need:

— thin felt of a green color;
— beads (white and green);
— green threads and a needle;
— an old badge;
— wadding material.



Draw three leaves of shamrock.



Fold the felt in half and cut leaving small seam allowances. You`ll have six workpieces.



Sew the workpieces by the perimeter leaving uncrosslinked the lower part. Cut the extra allowances.



Unscrew the leaves and wad them. Pay srecial attention to the upper part of the leaves; leave the lower part practically without wadding.



Sew the lower part of the leaves.



Thread as shown in the photo.



Tighten the thread, spread the petals and sew the first and the last. Cut the clover foot.



Tighten the middle, sew the foot and the beads so that the thread should not be seen.



We`ve made the shamrock leaf. Divide the badge with the scissors.



Glue the badge with a glue gun.



We`ve made a cute real Irish brooch. Hope it`ll bring you luck.
