St. Patrick’s Day Arts and Crafts

If you’ve been to a card store lately, you know how expensive they can be. So why spend $5 or $7 on a pop up card, when this St. Patrick’s Day craft is so easy to make?

I’ve included photos and step by step instructions. It really can be done by any age group or ability. The finished product looks like it was hard to make, but it’s easy.

I’ve also included the printable templates you need to make this adorable popup card for St. Patrick’s Day.

Gather the supplies and print out the PDF templates. Here are the templates.

Variations on This Rainbow Craft

Obviously it’s the pot of gold that makes this craft more Irish or inline with St. Patrick’s Day. While it’s not on the pdf templates that are included, you could do clouds or hearts or a sun instead of a pot of gold. That would give you a few variations so that it could be used for something other than St. Patrick’s Day.

Good luck and have fun!
