3. Remove letters – G O O D L U C K- from the letter sheet then, following the manufacturer’s directions on packaging, iron one letter at the center of each felt shamrock shape.

5.  Fold the shamrock in half over the top of the black felt and glue to the front to create a tab for the cord.  


6. Glue the tassel to the back by covering the tassel loop with one of the leftover triangles. 

  

6.  Thread the cord thru the loops at the top of each piece, then glue a shamrock to the cord at each end to finish.



Cook up some corned beef brisket for a party platter, serve with a glass of green beer, or Guinness and enjoy!
