Hi friends,
We have cute clovers and a little word play with the I'm Bright & Clover craft. It offers a bit of St. Patty’s cheer and requires minimal effort. = ) We even show you an option for making a garland with this craft. EASY, right?! I’d say this was pretty CLOVER 😉

PRINTS
Pour some green paint onto your tray/plate and spread it around.
You’ll be using both fists to make each leaf, with the side of your fist, rub your hand in the paint.
On either white/black paper, decide where you’ll place your leaf and press your TIGHTENED fist down.
REPEAT with your opposite hand and continue the sets, 3 more times.
OPTIONAL: If you would like to make a GARLAND, continue the steps on 3-5 more pages. Further instructions to follow.
STEMS & MESSAGE
Add a stem to the clovers.
With a pencil, write one or a combo of these phrases on the different pages:
I’m A Clever CLOVER
I’m Bright & CLOVER
We’re Bright & Clever CLOVERS
**We created 2 black pages with “I’m A Clever CLOVER”, 2 white pages with “I’m Bright & CLOVER”, and 1 white page with “We’re Bright & Clever CLOVERS”, then alternated the pages when putting them up.
3. Paint the wording in the opposite color. IF you happen to have white & black markers, you can use those instead.
(Naomi accidentally wrote clever the correct way on the white paper. We painted over it with white and then back over with a black “O”)
4. Let it dry 15-20 minutes and then erase any visible pencil markings.
If you’d like to create our garland below, hang a string of twine and clip the clovers to it with clothespins.
That’s it!
Happy crafting!
Amanda and Naomi
