4 leafed clovers are said to bring good luck. While finding one can prove to be quite the challenging task, making your own out of paper is easy peasy.
You could also use this craft as a Saint Patrick’s Day craft, just make it into a 3 leafed clover and you are good to go.
These would look amazing on a spring bulletin board too.

How to Make a Four Leaf Clover Craft

Let’s start!
Step by Step Instructions
Draw one big heart shape on the lighter green cardstock.
Trace this shape three more times.
Cut out the hearts.
On the darker green cardstock draw a smaller heart shape.
Trace this smaller heart shape three more times.
Cut out the shapes.
Now take the light green cardstock again and draw the third smallest heart shape.
Trace this heart shape three more times.
Then cut them out.
Make three clover leaves by gluing the hearts on top of each other arranging them by size as shown on the picture.
Punch one green circle using the circle puncher.
Put some glue on the circle and glue the four clover leaves on it.
The clover should look like this now.
Draw a freehand stem. Use darker green cardstock.
