Just sharing a quick + simple craft today that'll help get the kiddos in the St. Patrick's day spirit!

We've made these fun straw + paper leis before {check out our valentines day and spring versions from the past} and the kids just love to make them! They're simple, use supplies you likely have on hand already, and well, they're just SO cute!

Here's what you'll need to make your own 

Clover Leaf Lei:

Here's how you'll make it:

1. Cut out some clover leaves in varying colours and patterns from cardstock/construction paper.

I've created a template for the clover leaf I used and it can be downloaded here.

2. Punch a hole in the centre of each clover leaf. Depending on the width of your straws you might need to use a smaller than normal hole punch or poke your own holes so the straws don't slip through.

3. Cut a length of string/yarn and alternate stringing the paper clovers + straw pieces.

4. When its long enough, tie the ends of your string together and that's it! 

So easy and definitely a crowd pleaser with the kids!

Enjoy making your own Clover Leaf Leis you guys!

Have a super great weekend!

We'll see ya'll back here for Simple things Sunday.
