Tips for Using the Patterns
Get the most of out these patterns by using them a few different ways:
- Print the pattern out on heavy card stock and cut out the shapes. Trace around the cardstock shamrock again and again to leave the pattern behind on any material.
- Cut out the centers of the shamrocks and use the entire sheet as a repeating pattern or stencil.
- Print the shamrocks out directly onto green cardstock, cut them out and use them as ready-made decorations.
- Use them in cake decorating by cutting them out, placing them gently on top of a cooled cake, and sprinkling powder sugar over the cake. This will leave the print of the shamrock outlined in powdered sugar.
- Print on plain white cardstock and cover with a variety of green, printed paper - wrapping paper, origami, or even something you color in yourself.
