Instructions for making the Torn Paper Shamrock Craft
Download & Print – Download the Shamrock Template and print it on thick paper.
Prepare Torn Paper Pieces – Use green scrap paper and tear it into small pieces, approximately 1.5 x 1.5 cm, enough to cover the shamrock. You can use any Green paper.
For this project, I used Texture Paper, which was a Scrap from a Previous project.
Glue & Paste – Apply glue and paste the torn pieces one by one until the shamrock is fully covered.
Cut & Display: Cut out the completed shamrock and hang it for display.
