For smaller kids, use a couple of small scrap pieces of foam to glue the hearts to since white glue does not dry as quickly as hot glue. Using the scrap foam you can glue the hearts to it and it will be in the back and not seen from the front of the craft.

Cut a 2 or 3 inch piece off the chenille stem and glue to the back of the shamrock.

Glue button, sequin or pom pom to the center of the shamrock.

If you like you can glue a magnet or pin to the back or leave the craft as is.
