Creations, Painting Shamrocks
Lucky you, today you can paint your own 4 leaf clover!
No more back breaking searches for the elusive green lucky charm, now you can paint your own whenever you want!
To paint a shamrock, or a 3 or 4 leaf clover, you just need some hearts
Painting hearts is easy, if you need a refresher course you can see Painting Hearts here
A shamrock, or clover, is formed simply by turning the hearts, and placing points together
See how easy it is?
You can use paint, markers, chalk ink pens, whatever you like
I used 2 green Sharpies for these sketches
The “S” pattern is a good fill pattern, just make the S shape over and over, changing the S position, until the space is filled
Polka Dots are always cute
I’m giving my two favorite little leprechauns these mini treat bags full of a few little surprises
Pinch Me clothespins are easily made with paint and clothespins
Spray or brush paint on the clothes pins and add words with a paintbrush or the point of a paint pen nib
Now that you’ve mastered shamrocks, treat yourself to a Bailey’s Cupcake to celebrate!

A nice big piece of Bailey’s Irish Cream Cake sounds good with a hot cup-o-java right about now Jenna! Lot’s of snow here today:@)
Thank you for this post, Jenna. I love your step-by-step directions. You make it so easy to look like an artist! I’m making these shamrocks today for cards I’m sending to my grandkids! Thanks again, Rosie
You are so welcome Rosie! Have fun!
Too cute! I love the way you deconstruct the process of painting these things. And I will have a nice chunk of the cake, thank you! Where did you find those chalk paint pens?
hi Ellen! I got my chalk ink pens from amazon.com, but they might have them at Hobby Lobby, I just haven’t looked~ they work great on chalkboards, comes right off with windex…they work on other surfaces too, lots of fun to play with! Sitting here hoping the power stays on during yet another winter storm scare 🙂 Stay cozy~
I’m thinking St. Patty’s Day is going to sneak up on me and I’ll have nothing green though I am tempted by your chive shamrocks.
Jenna, how clever to turn the cheesy hearts into a shamrock! I am wanting to eat that shamrock! I bet it smelled fabulously!
What a great little tutorial. You make it looks so easy that I think I could even do it. And I’d love to reward myself with one of your cupcakes!
ha! Thanks so much Chris!
What a great post. Love your hand-painted bags–and the food is magnificent@
