Cut four pieces of yarn in varying lengths and glue them to the back of the plate.  If you want faster drying time, I suggest using a glue stick or even some tape.

Cut a bunch of clovers out of green construction paper using the template provided.  You can either do this ahead of time or have the kids do it.  Fold the paper like an accordion to cut more at a time.

Glue the clovers on the string using a glue stick.  Use two clovers for each one and sandwich the yarn in between.
