I am using a cool glue gun and the glue doesn’t get very hot. Be careful as some hot glue guns run very hot and it’s easy to burn yourself with them. You could wear gloves to protect your fingers and hands if you do have a glue gun that runs on the hot end.

I really love how easy this clover project is and how it can be used in so many ways. I actually ended up making more clover, and I glued them to a dollar store skewer and placed them in my garden.

What is the difference between a shamrock and a 4 leaf clover?

Clover must have 3 leaves to be considered a shamrock. So all shamrocks are clover but not all clover is considered a shamrock. Upon more research 3 leaves are considered shamrock, and the 4th leaf is “lucky” and then turns into the 4 leaf lucky clover.

  1. Oh I love this! When I was younger, (from a kid through my 30’s) 4 leaf clovers were my thing. I could spot one anywhere. I used to keep dried ones in my wallet as a “good luck charm”. LOL Times have changed and I can’t seem to find them anymore. I think I need to make this and hang it in my room. 🙂

    1. Thanks Linda and I’m glad you like it 🙂 I love that you want to put one in your room
