2. Make a bunch of felt shamrocks in varying sizes and colors.

3. Start attaching the shamrocks to the crown base by wrapping the “stems” around the base. We started with the bigger shamrocks and then filled in the spaces with the smaller shapes.

2. Cut 2 pot shapes out of the darker green foam sheet. We traced the shape on scrap paper, cut it out and then traced twice so we’d have two pots the same size.

3. Cut a shamrock out of the lighter green foam sheet.

4. Stack the tulle pieces in rainbow color order and using a small clear elastic attach one end to your headband as if you’re tying a small ponytail.

5. Arrange the tulle and fasten the other ends with another clear elastic. We have all the layers one twist in the middle so all the colors can be seen. Make sure the tulle strips aren’t pull too tight. You want some volume!

6. Hot glue the shamrock to the front of one of the pots.

7. Sandwich the front of the pot and back of the pot onto the headband and hot glue in place. Make sure the one end of the rainbow is hidden within the pot.
