Shamrock Print

This is such a fun craft to do with children. You can do this print on different kinds of paper to make wrapping paper, cards and pictures.

Supplies :
Bell Pepper
Paper
Acrylic Paint in various shades of green

Liner brush

Directions:
Cut a bell pepper in half through the middle. Not end to end going through the stem but through the center. This will make a shamrock shape out of the cut section of the bell pepper. Clean out the seeds.

Place your choice of green paint on a paper plate

Dip the bell pepper slice into the paint lightly......getting only on the edges ..if you get to much paint wash the slice off and start over

Press on to the paper you can add a stem by painting it on with a paint brush

Continue putting the shamrocks on the paper in any design you wish and in the different shades of green.
