St. Patrick's Day craft

My  nephew and I made a Shamrock sun catcher today. I think it turned out super cute !

Supplies:
 *Green Card-stock
* Green Lighting Gel scraps -( It just so happens that I was a lighting major in college . ) Call your local theatrical lighting company or community theater and see if they have lighting gel scraps you can have for free .
*Scissors
*Green Ribbon
*Clear contact paper 
* Hole Punch 

1.) Cut out a shamrock shape in paper .
2.) Cut down lighting gel ( or you can use tissue paper ) . I just cut it into tiny rectangles , but you could use one big sheet to cover the shamrock if you wanted to.
3.) Cut clear contact paper out to cover the shamrock.
4.) Peel the paper backing of the contact paper off and stick the shamrock on-top of the sticky part.
5.) Place lighting gel ( or tissue paper) in the shamrock on the sticky part of the contact paper.
6.) Cut out another piece of clear contact paper and put it on top of the shamrock to "laminate" it all together .
7.) Use  a hole punch and punch a hole in the top of the shamrock to hang.
8.) Put ribbon through the hole and hang.
