Here's how to create a Shamrock Wrapped in Yarn

STEP ONE

To begin the Yarn and Shamrock Sign, gather all supplies. To create the sign, line up seven jumbo craft sticks on your work surface. Attach a jumbo craft stick to the top and bottom with a glue gun and glue sticks. TIP: You can use liquid craft glue for this project, but you will have to wait for it to dry.

STEP TWO

Basecoat the sign with watered-down Dark Chocolate acrylic craft paint. Paint quickly and then remove the excess paint with a paper towel. This will give the unfinished wood craft sticks a stained appearance. You can also use washable markers, crayons, or even colored pencils to color the jumbo craft sticks. I love Americana Acrylics from DecoArt because they have one-coat coverage on most surfaces.

STEP THREE

Download, print, and cut out the YARN WRAPPED SHAMROCK PATTERN from the bottom of this post. Trace the shamrock onto a scrap of corrugated cardboard with a pencil. Carefully cut out the shamrock with scissors.

STEP FOUR

Gather several colors of yarn. This project uses green and white. Tie the two ends of the yarn together in a knot and attach them to the back of the cardboard shamrock with a glue gun and glue sticks.

STEP FIVE

Start wrapping both strands of yarn around the cardboard shamrock in a random fashion. Continue wrapping and securing every fifth or sixth wrap with a small dot of glue.

STEP SIX

Continue to wrap the yarn around the shamrock in a haphazard manner until you can no longer see any cardboard. Tie the two ends of the yarn together in a knot and attach it to the back of the cardboard shamrock with a glue gun and glue sticks.

STEP SEVEN

Measure and cut a 12” length of natural jute twine with scissors. Flip the sign over and attach the ends of the twine to the top right and left-hand sides with a glue gun and glue sticks.

STEP EIGHT

Attach the yarn wrapped shamrock to the craft stick sign with a glue gun and glue sticks. Press down firmly in the center of the shamrock to make sure that adheres well. Tie black and white gingham ribbon into a bow. Cut a notch from the ends of the ribbon tails to prevent fraying. Attach to the top of the sign with a glue gun and glue sticks.
