The shamrock is the symbol of Saint Patrick's Day. The Shamrock is often seen on the festive green clothing on March 17. Every year on this day New York holds the world's largest Saint Patrick's Day parade, where else? we ask ourselves Today we're folding pretty green shamrocks for our windows, we think it will look very festive om March 17. But we hang the shamrocks today already, just to get in the festive mood ;))!
How to make festive Shamrock decorations
Have a sheet of kitepaper of 14x14 cm.
Fold the kite paper in half.
Fold the kite paper open.
Fold the top corners slanted inwards.
Fold the bottom point against each other.
Fold the left point to the middle line.
Fold the right point neatly against it.

Roll up a strip 3 times and cut if off.
Glue the strip together.
Stick 3 times 2 leaves together.
Allow the Shamrock leaves and stem to dry well.
