    A tip – Shamrocks are easy to make if you just think of them as three hearts put together. In fact, I make shamrock cookies exactly that way with a heart shaped cookie cutter!

      Instead of buying Shrinky Dink paper, use styrofoam trays from the meat department at the grocery. They have given them to me free/cheap! We use permanent markers. They turn out really cute, and much cheaper.
