Step 1 

Take all of your shamrocks and double layer them. This will make the shamrocks sturdier and makes for a cleaner look with the printed shamrock showing the gingham print on both sides! 

Add a dot of hot glue to the middle of one shamrock, put both sides together and hold for a few seconds.

Step 3

Now, thread your needle. 

Tip: Use a larger needle and embroidery thread if you can... it makes going through the felt balls a lot easier! 

Step 4

For the next steps, the pattern is up to you... this is how we did it!

First, take your needle and go through your first felt ball.

Then, take a shamrock and weave your thread through the top.

Continue to do this, alternating felt balls and shamrocks, until you have a length you are happy with!  

We love to see what you make!
