Supplies Needed to Make a DIY Shamrock Garland

• modeling clay (DAS Air Hardening Modeling Clay, 1.1 Pound Block, White (387000)
• shamrock cookie cutter (Wilton Green Metal Shamrock Cookie Cutter)
• Kelly Green Ribbon (Firefly Imports Single Face Satin Ribbon, 1/4-Inch/100-Yard, Emerald Green)
• Rolling Pin
• Wax Paper
• 1 Chopstick
• Scissors

Step By Step Tutorial for How To Make Shamrock Garland Craft

Step ONE – Roll out the Modeling Clay

Roll out your modeling clay to about 1/4 inch deep.

I only used half of the clay to make the Shamrock garland craft so there is plenty left to make another project with.

Step TWO – Cut Out Your Shamrocks

Cut out your shamrocks (I made 7 for my shamrock garland) and one extra for my Pallet Wreath so 8 in total.

Step THREE – Make a Hole in the Shamrock

Using a Chopstick make a small hole at the top in order to hang the garland & separate Shamrock for my Pallet Wreath.

Step FOUR – Air Dry the Shamrocks

Let Dry (usually take 2 days if air drying). Thw length of drying time will vary depending on how thick you make the shamrock cut outs.

Step FIVE – Hang Your Shamrock Garland

I strung 7 clay shamrocks through the Kelly green ribbon to hang from my farmhouse living room fireplace mantel.

I also cut another piece of Kelly green ribbon about 4 inches long to hang 1 clay Shamrock from my Pallet Wreath.

Modeling clay is so easy to craft with and I love using it in my décor. 

I made a similar garland for Spring last year (here) and hearts for a Valentine tree (here).

I love the Shamrock garland on My living room mantel and on my pallet wreath!!!
