DIY Four Leaf Clover

Materials:

Crepe paper

28-gauge cloth covered floral wire

Scissors

White glue

Heart shaped paper punch

Directions:

1. Begin by cutting heart shapes out of the green crepe

paper (with the grain of the crepe positioned

vertically) either by using a heart shaped paper punch

or by creating a heart shaped template in cardboard,

tracing it onto the crepe paper and cutting them out

by hand. If you chose to use a paper punch it often

works best to layer a piece of copy paper over the

crepe paper and then feeding then both into the

paper punch -- without the copy paper layer, the soft

crepe paper may stretch and tear. Punch three hearts

for each clover and then fold each in half.

2. Cut three identical pieces of 28-gauge cloth covered

floral wire for each clover.

3. Take one piece of wire and lightly coat the end in

white glue, about ¼". Place the glue covered wire in

the fold of one of the folded heart positioning it in the

bottom center at the point of the heart. Close the

folded heart and pinch the crepe paper around the

end of the wire to secure it in place and then partially

open the fold to create one of the clover

leaves. Repeat this to create all three leaves and then

allow them to try for a couple of minutes each.
