How to Make a St. Patricks Day Badge

Share the luck of the Irish on St. Patrick's Day by wearing a glittery green 4-leaf clover pin. The St. Patrick's Day Badge will serve a dual purpose: warding off pinches and bringing good luck. Make several and share the luck with family and friends. Glitter can be used instead of sequins, but be forewarned, glitter can be very messy, especially if worn by children.

Things You'll Need

• Thin, white cardboard Pen or pencil Scissors Medium-sized safety pin Masking tape White glue Paint brush Green sequins

Instructions

1. 

   Draw an outline of a 4-leaf shamrock onto a thin piece of white cardboard. The shamrock should be approximately 3 inches square. If you do not know how to draw a shamrock, replicate the one shown with this article.

2. 

   Cut out the shamrock shape.

3. 

   Tape a safety pin onto one side of the shamrock. This will be used to pin the shamrock onto your clothing.

4. 

   Turn the shamrock over and paint the opposite side with a thin layer of white glue.

5. 

   Cover the glue coated side with green sequins, until the entire surface is covered. Allow to dry completely before wearing.
