DIY Four Leaf Clover Paper Art

As I was staring at this little Valentine’s Day Heart Wall Art I made as I was placing it on my mantel for my Valentine’s Day décor, it gave me an idea for St. Patrick’s Day. Since I find paper crafting relaxing, I really enjoyed making this DIY Four Leaf Clover Paper Art.  Here is how I made it.

Time: 30-45 Minutes

Materials:

• 5” X 7” Canvas
• Americana Foliage Green Acrylic Paint
• Foam Brush
• Hot Glue and Glue Gun
• Green Cardstock (3 Hues – One Sheet Each)
  • Astrobrights Vulcan Green
  • Astrobrights Martian Green
  • Astrobrights Gamma Green
• Gold Glittered Scrapbook Paper
• Fiskars That’s Amore Squeeze Punch (Medium)

Instructions:

First, paint your canvas and let it dry. Second, punch your heart out! Ha! Get it? For this sized canvas, I punched out the following using the heart squeeze punch:

• 48 Vulcan Green
• 42 Martian Green
• 24 Gamma Green
• 6 Glitter Gold

Once the paint is completely dry, glue down four hearts forming a clover as follows:

• 1^st row: 4 Vulcan Green Clovers
• 2^nd row: 4 Martian Green Clovers
• 3^rd row: 4 Gamma Green Clovers
• 4^th row: 3 Martian Green Clovers and 1 Gold Clover
• 5^th row: 4 Vulcan Green Clovers

Next, fold two hearts per clover in half and glue them on top of the top leaf and bottom leaf of each clover.

Lastly, frame your canvas.  I got this silver frame at IKEA.

You can use any color greens you choose.  You can also leave out the gold heart if you like. Another option is to use a bigger canvas and the extra-large Fiskars That’s Amore Squeeze Punch to make a bigger version.  I hope you try it out!
