Paper Bag Leprechaun Puppet – Kid Craft Idea For St. Patrick’s Day

Did you catch our Paper Plate Leprechaun post yesterday? Well – continuing on with the fun St. Patrick’s Day theme on Glued To My Crafts, today I have another easy kid craft that is just like yesterday’s idea BUT with a paper bag instead.

Not only is this Paper Bag Leprechaun {Kid Craft} super simple, adorable and great for all ages – but it’s also really inexpensive when it comes to the supplies. We are talking simple materials that are easy to find and friendly on the wallet too. But overall, my favorite element is the handprint orange beard we added. Clever, right?!

So what are you waiting for? Let’s grab our craft supplies and get straight to work on making our own one-of-a-kind leprechaun! You can find everything you need to know, in the full step-by-step tutorial below and then have you yourself a crafty day making leprechaun puppets to play with afterwards!

Happy crafting my dear friends! Please don’t forget to share pictures of your leprechaun puppet made from a paper bag on our Facebook page or tag us on Instagram to admire. I can’t wait to see how your new FRIEND turns out! #gluedtomycrafts
