Hi friends,
We’re bringing you this beautiful Clovers & Coins Jewel Tone Garland, with greens and gold. We kept it pretty minimal by leaving the leprechauns, rainbows, and pots of gold out, but you could easily dress this up with all the vibrant rainbow colors, adding plenty more clovers & coins, and coloring them in. Check out this super cute garland!

What You'll Need
Paper
Cardboard
Pencil
Ruler
Scissors
(9) Cardboard Rolls
Craft Paint + Gold Paint
Paint Brushes + Rinse Jar
Yarn/String
Hole Punch
Optional: Newspaper/Table Cover, Clovers & Coins print out
The Steps
DIAMONDS
Place 1 roll over the paper and make a mark on the top, bottom, right, and left sides.
With your ruler make a diamond. It does not need to be exact.
3. Cut out the paper diamond, trace it onto the cardboard 8 times, and then cut them out.
4. Punch holes in the diamonds and then paint them gold.
TUBES
Paint all your rolls. We used 4 different greens and painted 2 rolls in each color. The 9th roll was painted with one of the colors we had already used.
Paint the diamonds and rolls once more if necessary, we did.
Once the rolls dry, punch 2 holes near the bottom(top, when flipped over).
ASSEMBLE
Arrange your pattern before assembling- roll, diamond, roll, etc.
Cut about 8ft of yarn/string, find the center, and slide your middle roll to that position.
Work your way out from there, looping the yarn through the holes in the rolls and double looping through the diamonds. Leave about 2 inches in between each item and knot/loop the ends.
That’s it!
clovers and coins option:
print up the sheet in any size (ours was a full sheet), color (we left our clovers white), cut out, and tape on.
I love it! It’s rich in color and minimal in appearance.
Happy crafting!
