Instructions
Trace and cut out the shamrock pattern from cardboard.
Use each shade of green paint to paint 25 puzzle pieces. Apply a second coat if needed. Allow to dry fully.
Glue the puzzle pieces to your cardboard wreath frame, then glue on a second layer of puzzle pieces so you can't see any of the cardboard.
Cut a 1" x 11" rectangle from the white card stock to use as a banner.
Starting at the left side of your paper banner, color one-inch sections in rainbow order with markers. Use a black marker to write "LUCKY" or your own St. Patty's Day message in the middle of the banner. Cut a triangle out of each end of the card stock banner.
Fold the ends of the banner into a “Z” pattern and attach to the shamrock wreath with your glue gun.
Cut out two pieces of twine that are each about a foot long. Glue one piece to the back of the wreath to use as a hanger.
Tie a bow in a second piece of baker’s twine and glue onto the front of the wreath as decoration.
