Flat Pin Leprechaun Craft Supplies:

* Wooden Flat Pins/Clothespins
* Medium Sized Orange Pom Poms
* Small Wiggle Eyes
* Green/Orange/Black Sharpies {or craft paint & paint brushes}
* Green Cardstock
* Thick School Glue
* Scissors
optional – other embellishments like small bows, rhinestones, glitter etc.

Directions:

* First the fun part! Have children draw {or paint} their wooden spoon however they like. We went with a green body in the center, finished off with black boots on the tips. Be sure to leave some blank space for the face!
* While children are working on that – cut out a simple green hat from the cardstock.
* To finish off the Wooden Spoon Leprechaun – simply glue the paper hat to the wooden spoon, as well as gluing the wiggle eyes and orange pom pom beard on. Then add other embellishments you see fit {like glitter, rhinestones etc} To display, you can add magnets to the back, stick it in a flower pot or hot glue some string for easy hanging!
