Rainbow Shamrock Mesh Art

This craft is similar to the mesh art that students will have completed before. Instead of creating a mesh outline in this activity, this easy game is perfect for creating a clover or shamrock that will be memorable. 

Shamrock art that can be used multiple times and can be customized for each student… how lucky!

You need:

● A cut out of a shamrock or clover

● Paint (any color!)

● Mesh (think of what a nag of oranges is made of, or the back part of a sponge)

● Rubber bands

To make:

● Cut out a shamrock that you want to paint and decorate. 

● Squirt a small amount of paint onto a plate or a paint pallet next to your paper. Wrap your mesh up with a rubberband to form a small mesh mall. Dip it in paint, section each shamrock off, and paint it in different colors.

● Set aside your newly bedazzled clover, and let it dry!

These great clovers allow students to personalize their St. Patrick’s Day. That’s the best part of crafts for kids when their ideas can be personalized.
