My sons love those baby books that have touchy-feely parts in them, even now that they’re not babies anymore. Here’s a craft for kids that creates a furry shamrock, perfect for St. Patrick’s Day. Kids will enjoy making a little decorative picture, a greeting card for Grandma or maybe even the cover of a notebook, with these fun fuzzy shamrocks.
So what’s the secret fuzzy ingredient? Velour pads, like the ones you put on the bottom of tile coasters.
Supplies for Fuzzy Shamrock Card:
- A package of velour pads (I found mine at the dollar store)
- Craft foam or card stock
- A marker
Instructions: Stick four circles together in a group on cardstock or foam, draw a stem, and decorate as desired. Easy!

I think that is a really cute idea!
What a cute card and so easy …and I usually have these in stock for a variety of crafts!
I love these 4 leaf clovers! I think I even have some pads in my closet! Fun!
This is a great speedy craft. I think I could adapt this to make place cards for dinner tonight. Thanks!
