Look what we made with a simple shamrock template. My 11-year-old boy sewed up these cool hanging felt shamrocks for our window. He wanted me to make sure that you know he was VERY bored and needed something to do and he got to use the sewing machine —stressing the MACHINE part, so it was all good. Afterall we can’t make slime every day! Well, mom can’t!
There are so many fun things to do with shamrocks. We especially like these shamrock coloring pages! Kids will love the find the four leaf clover activity page and the puppy with a shamrock spot on his eye is too cute. I have loads of St Patrick’s Day ideas. I hope you will check them out. We think the rainbow cupcakes are super cute.

How to make Hanging Felt Shamrock Decorations
- Download and print the shamrock template.
- Cut out the paper shamrocks.
- Pin two layers of felt together.
- Lay a shamrock template on top of the felt. If you want a hanger for the shamrock, slip a length of ribbon in between the layers of felt at the top of the shamrock.
- Draw around the shamrock on the top layer of felt with a disappearing marking pen.(affiliate link)
- Sew all the way around this shamrock outline, making sure to catch the ribbon between the layers at the top.
- Cut out a shamrock close to the stitching line and around the ribbon. Be careful not to cut the stitching line or cut off the ribbon.
My crafty boy added a few beads on the ribbon and now the shamrocks our hanging in our window—hopefully bringing us lots of luck! Hope they bring you loads of luck too! Whip up some crochet shamrocks to be sure!!
You could do this same project for Valentine’s Day or just to spread a little love with this heart template.
