Description

This really easy to make 4-leaf clover is PERFECT for St. Patrick's day! Make it colourful, or make it green!
Note: You will have to make one thing 4 times, just to warn you, but it is easy and you can quickly make it after you've done it your first time!


  1. Step 1

    Step 1

    ((This is for if you don't have square paper or don't know how to create square paper.))
    First, take your paper. You can use ANYTHING: Newspaper, books even! Just make sure it's all the same size. If you don't have square paper, take the piece of paper you have and take the top left hand corner and fold it down to down the right side of the paper, making sure the tip is even. Then you can cut off the rectangle at the bottom of the page, unfold, and voila! You have a sqaure! =P

    With the coloured side facing downwards, fold in half, so that the fold line goes horizontally, accurately and neatly as possible.

    Step 5

    Take the top of your piece of paper and fold it down so that it meets the line that goes left to right. Fold the line. Of course, mine isn't hold down, so it looks like it's not meeting on the line, but it twings back....
    Just make sure it meets the line!

    Flip your paper over!


  • Step 7

    Step 8

    Flip over your paper!


  • Step 9

    Step 9
