How to fold an easy Shamrock for St. Patrick’s Day

March 11, 2019 by Stefanie Girard

This is so cool and really, isn’t dollar bills that you can then unfold and use/recycle to spend on a treat like a shamrock shake or coffee a fun way to give a St. Patrick’s day gift? 

Giving a folded dollar bill shamrock as a St. Patrick’s Day gift is a fun and creative way to spread some luck and cheer. And the fact that the recipient can then unfold and use the dollar bill to treat themselves to something special, like a shamrock shake or coffee, makes it even more enjoyable.

Crafty Journal has an excellent tutorial on how to fold a dollar bill into a shamrock, complete with step-by-step instructions and photos. Even if you’re not particularly crafty or artistic, this tutorial is easy to follow and you’ll be able to create your own dollar bill shamrocks in no time.

What I love about this idea is that it’s both thoughtful and practical. You’re giving someone a little bit of luck and a little bit of spending money all in one. Plus, the folded shamrock is a cute and festive decoration that can be displayed on a desk or bulletin board long after St. Patrick’s Day is over.

If you’re looking for a unique and fun St. Patrick’s Day gift idea, I highly recommend giving this tutorial a try. It’s a great way to spread some holiday cheer and make someone’s day a little brighter.

Pop on over the rainbow to the blog Crafty Journal for the tutorial on how to fold a dollar bill shamrock for St. Patrick’s Day gift giving. I wonder if this would work with play money?
