PREP
Fold your paper into fourths and cut the sections out.
Brush paint onto the side of your palm: cover the pinky finger, leave a gap, and then apply paint on the lower portion of your palm.
PRINTS
Slightly curve the palm and press it down firmly with the opposite hand.
Repeat with different colors, as many times as you’d like, and then let them dry for about 10 minutes.
HAT & FACE
Use a green that matches your paint and fill in the hat, then draw the black band and yellow buckle.
With a tan pencil draw the forehead by the buckle, the nose, mouth, chin, jaw, and ear.
Draw a small eye and orange eyebrow.
HAIR & BEARD
Use a mixture of oranges to draw the hair and beard: wavy, straight, squiggly, or curly.
Lastly write: HAPPY ST. PATRICK’S DAY or HAPPY ST. PATTY’S
That’s it!
Happy crafting
Amanda and Naomi
