Tips for Making This Fun St. Patrick’s Day Craft
We had a great time making these bookmarks. Here are a few tips we learned along the way:
- Be sure to print the template and use it as a guide if this is your first time working with wire.
- Younger kids might have a hard time with the wire. They can, however, use pipe cleaners.
- These look great with the hammered or non-hammered wire look, so make both and decide which ones you like best.

I’m glad you asked! This method uses a template so you’ll get it right every time. As I mentioned above, switch the wire for pipe cleaners and even the youngest can enjoy this fun craft.

- Place the wire on top of the template and bend it to match the petals and curves of the shamrock.
- When you get near the end, approximate how much wire you'll need for the final curve and a decorative swirl. Cut the wire and bend the swirl with the looping pliers.
- If you like the hammered look, hammer it on a flat surface to add texture. Your shamrock bookmark is done!
