PAIR YOUR LEPRECHAUN HAT WITH —>Popsicle Stick Leprechaun House – Kid Craft

Leprechaun Hat Supplies:

* Jumbo Popsicle Sticks {3 per leprechaun hat}
* Mini Popsicle Sticks {3 per leprechaun hat}
* School Glue
* Green Craft Paint
* Paint Brush
* Loose Green Craft Glitter
* Yellow Colored Cardstock
* Kid Friendly Scissors
* Small Shamrock Stickers

Directions:

* First assemble the base of your hat by gluing together the popsicle sticks. Lay the THREE jumbo sticks next to each other {side by side} and then glue the THREE regular sized popsicle sticks towards the bottom, going the other direction. Refer to our picture for example.
* Repeat for each hat craft you want to make. Once done, set aside to let it dry completely.
* Next is the paint! Have children paint their popsicle stick shape completely green and finishing off with some green glitter on top while the paint is still wet.
* Again, set aside to let it dry completely.
* Now grab the yellow cardstock and your scissors.
* Go ahead and cut out a simple strip to go in the center of the hat {or any other shape you like!}
* To finish off the Popsicle Stick Leprechaun Hat craft, glue on your cardstock piece, as well as a shamrock in the center.
* Then let it dry completely before displaying proudly!!!
