How to Make a Toilet Paper Roll Four Leaf Clover Shamrock Stamp

Grab a toilet paper roll:

Smash it to create creases, just crush it right in halfsies:

Push one crease in to form a heart shape and wrap tape around the roll to hold in place:

And another…

And another, for four total toilet paper roll hearts:

Go back over each toilet paper roll heart and re-fold the bottom seam to make a nice crisp fold at the point. Now hot glue along one side:

and glue the next toilet paper roll heart to the first one, making sure the stamping edge is evenly aligned:

Repeat along the edge of the second roll, then the third, until you have all four toilet paper roll hearts glued together into your shamrock shape:

Dip the stamping edge (that you were extra careful to make sure was all aligned flat) into paint (green, of course):

You can put a piece of damp sponge (dishwipe kind) on plate, then add paint on top. It helps to keep the paint even when you are stamping.

So cute! I tried a similar idea with my toddler for Valentine’s Day, but she was more interested in smearing the paint around with the TP tube instead of stamping with it. We’ll see how it goes next year, but in the meantime, I’m linking my St. Pat’s Day post to this post of yours because it’s such a great idea. Hope you see some new visitors your way!
