Quilled Shamrock Craft

Here at Ruffles and Rain Boots, I love to share easy and quick crafts. This St. Patricks day, we made a quilled shamrock and it was a lot of fun. We even made pins out of some of them so none of us get pinched!

No quilling supplies? No problem! If you don’t have quilling paper, grab a couple of tones of origami paper or colored printer paper and cut it into thin strips. If you don’t have a quilling tool, use a thin chopstick or bamboo skewer – they work great!

Tips for Making a Quilled Shamrock

As I mentioned above, you can make this craft with no special supplies. 

• Use origami paper and cut it into thin strips if you don’t have quilling strips. For a quilling tool, a bamboo skewer works very well. 
• Try a few of the circles to get the hang of it.
• Use a clear glue for the assembly. You can use school glue, just hold it in place for a little bit so it sets.

I’m so glad you asked! Below is a written tutorial, but I’ve also created a video for the visual learners. If you’re making a playlist for quilling crafts or St. Patrick’s Day craft on YouTube, here is our quilled shamrock video tutorial.

Materials

• green quilling paper (we get ours here)

• pin clasp (click here to see the ones we used)

Instructions

1. Coil a strip of paper tightly. Set down and let it unroll a bit.
2. Using the outside open edge, glue down the end and pinch until you form a tear drop shape.
3. Repeat this process. You'll need 6 tear drops for a shamrock and 8 if you'd like to make a four-leaf clover.
4. Once you have all quilled tear drops ready, use a small piece of paper to glue them to.
5. If you'd like to make a pin, glue a fastener to the back and your quilled shamrock is complete!
