How-To: "So Lucky" to have little hands in our home :)

Here's a fun St. Patty's day decoration to make with your kids! If your kids are old enough, they can even assemble them on their own. :)

Start with these supplies:

• Scissors
• green paper
• glue & glitter, glitter glue, or paint
• ribbon
• scrap piece of thin wood or dense cardboard (Optional - not in the picture below)
• tape (not in the picture below)
• marker (not in the picture below)
• metal brad
• and WIPES!! haha.. unless your kids are old enough to control their little sticky hands ;)

Start by cutting out 4 hearts big enough for your child's hand (or foot for really small babies) to fit on. Use the glue to make a handprint on each heart.

Then, sprinkle with glitter and let them dry.

Once they're dry, use a brad to connect them all at the points, and fan them out to make a shamrock.

Tape ribbon streamers to the back to make the stem, and tape a loop to the back on the top to hang it from.

You could always leave it at that, but since I have 2 little ones, I decided to make a sign the hang them both from. Using your scrap wood or cardboard and a marker, write something on the sign - mine said "So Lucky".

Then, tape the shamrock hanger to the back of the sign. *Why tape? This allows you to easily remove it and put it in a baby book or some other special place - I love little handprints. :)* Add a ribbon to hang the sign by, and you're done!
