How to Make a Faux Four Leaf Clover

fake 4 leaf clover
I can remember as a child spending recess fervently searching for four leaf clovers. I never did find one. Now as an adult I can skip the search and just make one. And maybe impress my kindergartner along the way.
Get about 5 clovers in similar size and color. Pick off all the leaves. Find four leaves that are the most asymmetrical and similar in color/size. On a piece of clear contact paper place the leaves in the shape of a four leaf clover (there will be some overlapping). Place a second piece of clear contact paper on top of the clover to seal it. Trim the piece into desired shape (I cut a circle). Now you have a fun little lucky charm for St. Patrick’s Day.
*Because the picture is a close up, you can see the gap in the center. Looking at it in person, you can’t see it. Honestly, the four leaf clover looks better in person.
*If you don’t have contact paper, clear packaging tape would probably work just as well.
