This really easy to make 4-leaf clover is PERFECT for St. Patrick's day! Make it colourful, or make it green! Note: You will have to make one thing 4 times, just to warn you, but it is easy and you can quickly make it after you've done it your first time!

Instructions

  1. Small dscf2773 1284316581

    ((This is for if you don't have square paper or don't know how to create square paper.)) First, take your paper. You can use ANYTHING: Newspaper, books even! Just make sure it's all the same size. If you don't have square paper, take the piece of paper you have and take the top left hand corner and fold it down to down the right side of the paper, making sure the tip is even. Then you can cut off the rectangle at the bottom of the page, unfold, and voila! You have a sqaure! =P

  2. Small dscf2774 1284316622

    With the coloured side facing downwards, fold in half, so that the fold line goes horizontally, accurately and neatly as possible.

  3. Small dscf2776 1284316705

    Unfold.

  4. Small dscf2776 1284316750

    Fold in half, so that the fold line is vertical, accurately and neatly as possible.

  5. Small dscf2778 1284316757

    Take the top of your piece of paper and fold it down so that it meets the line that goes left to right. Fold the line. Of course, mine isn't hold down, so it looks like it's not meeting on the line, but it twings back.... Just make sure it meets the line!

  6. Small dscf2779 1284391238

    Flip your paper over!

  7. Small dscf2780 1284391356

    Take the top right corner of the paper and bring it down, so the top of you paper meets the middle line of your paper. Do that with the other side too.

  8. Small dscf2781 1284391433

    Flip over your paper!

  9. Small dscf2782 1284391474

    Bring the tip of your paper down, making sure the tip's in line with the fold down the middle. However, make sure it doesn't go fully down to the bottom line.

  10. Small dscf2783 1284391624

    Flip your paper over!

  11. Small dscf2784 1284391672

    Open the left rectangle, like in the picture.

  12. Small dscf2785 1284391831

    Like in the picture, fold it down!!

  13. Small dscf2786 1284391905

    Do the other side too!

  14. Small dscf2787 1284391935

    Fold the sides in, so the sides meet with the middle fold.

  15. Small dscf2788 1284392132

    Fold the top left in to make a triangle. Then do the other side.

  16. Small dscf2789 1284392254

    Fold the top of the triangles to make the top line flat.

  17. Small dscf2790 1284392359

    Flip it over and you have a heart! Now, make three more of these, making sure all of your pieces of paper are the same size.

  18. Small dscf2792 1284392588

    Orange leaf...

  19. Small dscf2793 1284392479

    Yellow leaf...

  20. Small dscf2795 1284392509
