Paper Quilling Shamrock Craft
Have you seen some of the fantastic paper quillling art out there?, just do a search and see the amazing things that come up, it's a truly spectacular art form. This shamrock is probably as simple as it gets. Create your own quilling art, you'll be amazed at the results.

Materials:

  • Colored cardstock paper
  • Lollipop stick
  • Tacky glue
  • ​Popsicle stick

Directions:

Step 1. You'll first need to cut long strips of paper about 1/2 an inch wide. I used 11 inch cardstock paper. Cut out three strips per color.

Step 2. Next place the strips on top of each other in the order you'd like. I layered 7 strips, this may be too many for beginners, use less strips if you're having difficulty curling the paper.

Step 3. Fold the strips in half to find the middle. Then wrap one end around a lollipop stick and begin to curl the strips making your way towards the middle. Roll tightly!

Step 4. Next roll the other end inward towards the middle as well.

Step 5. Shape your quilled paper like a heart. Make two more.

Step 6. Glue the shapes down to colored cardstock. Dip the heart shapes in glue and press down, let it dry.

Step 7. Cut out the shamrock and apply a stem (popsicle stick) to the back.
