Shamrock String Art

A fun themed craft for all to create this St Patricks day!
  • Step 1 Paint your string art board gold using CleverPatchâ„¢ Acrylic paint. Allow to dry.
  • Step 2 Print the template provided and cut out. Adult supervision is recommended when using scissors. Trace around the outline of the Shamrock onto the wooden string art board, making sure the pencil line is light but still visible.
  • Step 3 Hammer nails 1cm apart around the Shamrock outline. Adult supervision is recommended when using a hammer and nails.
  • Step 4 Cut a piece of green Metallic Yarn 5 metres in length. Tie one end to a nail and double knot.
  • Step 5 Wrap the metallic yarn around the nails in any pattern you like, making sure each nail is used. When you have used all the yarn, tie the end in a knot around the closest nail. Trim any excess yarn.
  • Step 6 Use PVA glue around the outside of the string art board and cover with glitter while the glue is still tacky. Allow to dry.
  • For less glitter wastage, use a scrap piece of paper folded in half to catch the glitter falling off the string art board while decorating. This will make it easy to tip the glitter back into the container ready to reuse!
  • Step 7 Your Shamrock String Art is now ready!
