How To Make Glitter Clover Wands With The Cricut

Instructions

PRO TIPS:

Cut equal amounts of clovers. Cut one set of clovers as shown on the template. And another set of clovers with the mirror image on! This will ensure your glitter cardstock is on the proper side for making the craft and gluing the clovers together!

You can hover over a clover on the cut page and bring up the hide image if you want to cut fewer clovers than shown.

For example, if you are making 9 wands total. Cut 9 clovers with the template. Cut another 9 clovers with the mirror image on. You will find the toggle on the cut page. (shown below in image)

If cutting them by hand, cut with the template for the amount you want. Then, flip the glitter cardstock paper over to cut the design opposite. Do a test cut to make sure this aligns with both proper sides facing out. Before cutting them all.

Are you ready to make a craft for St. Patrick’s Day?

How to use Design Space and the Shamrock (Clover) Template For Crafts

Instructions

Bring up the template in Design Space (sign up if free!)

Video – Guide To Using Cricut Design Space for Beginners
Select the “make the design”.
(If you are cutting by hand select print and cut. Print 1 sheet of the template regular and 1 sheet of the template mirrored. Move onto the steps to make the Shamrock wand project. Note: Place the pattern over the top of your cardstock and tape the top and bottom. Then cut the clovers out).
Make sure your Cricut machine is on and connected to use.
Make sure you are signed into Cricut Design Space
It will bring you to the mat-cutting page.
Select more materials and pick glitter stock.
For the pressure, I selected the preference more (this cardstock is thick)
Go to cut the design.
Repeat the process for the back side clovers. Only this time select the toggle switch mirror image!!! Do This PRIOR TO CUTTING THE DESIGN!
After selecting the Mirror Image follow the same steps to cut the design.
Now that the clovers are cut. Assemble the project from the instructions below!

Instructions For How To Make And Assemble Shamrock Wands

DIY St. Patrick's Day Craft - Shamrock (clover) Fairy Wands - Step-by-Step Instructions + Template DearCreatives.com — Step-by-Step images

Heat up the glue gun.
Cut the clover shape. (I made mine 3 inch). Do this by hand or with the Cricut using the clover template. You can adjust the size if needed.
Face the clover glitter side down on the craft table or protected workspace.
Make a bead of hot glue on the cardstock in a line in the middle.
Place the dowel directly onto the hot bead of glue. Turn it over and make sure to align the clover’s stem centered on the dowel.
Repeat this process for the opposite side of the dowel. Now, align the two clovers evenly.
Let it dry.
Cut the ribbons 14 inches. Coordinate the ribbons to go with the craft project’s cardstock and/or theme.
Next hot glue the inside of the clovers on all four sides of the clover. Hold down the sides after gluing. Do this until the section is dry.
When all the sides are done; Add the ribbon tied just under the tip or near the bottom of the clover stem.
Slide the ribbon down slightly and hot glue it into place, by sliding the ribbon over the hot-glued dot.
Repeat the same process for as many clover wands as you want to make!
