All you need is some shredded paper, sandwich baggies, cardstock paper and a little creativity to make it come to life.

Keep scrolling for the full how-to tutorial and recreate your own creative St. Patrick’s Day piece today!

Craft Supplies:

Sandwich Baggie {the zip-lock kind – one per leprechaun belly craft}
Dark Green Colored Shredded Crinkle Paper {Dollar Tree is perfect!}
Black Colored Cardstock Paper
Gold Glitter Colored Cardstock Paper
Kid Friendly Paper Scissors
School Glue or Glue Stick
optional material – shamrock stickers

Directions:

First things first – grab ONE sandwich baggie per craft and your green colored crinkle paper.
Open up the baggie.
Stuff the sandwich baggie with the green shredded paper. Just a handful inside the bag, until it’s nice and full.
Now seal off your baggie at the top. Set it aside.
Grab your black and gold colored cardstock paper and craft scissors.
Cut out a long rectangle piece for leprechaun’s belt, as well as a hat from the black cardstock.
Out of the gold cardstock, cut out a square “buckle” for the belly and a “band” for the hat.
To finish off the Plastic Baggie and Crinkle Paper Leprechaun Belly craft, glue the all the paper pieces to one side of the stuffed baggie.
Add any other embellishments you see fit {maybe a shamrock sticker or two!}
Then display your paper leprechaun belly for ALL to see and don’t forget to share a picture with us on your social media sites! #gluedtomycrafts

Make it your own – instead of using crinkle paper, think of other ways you can “fill” up your baggie. Grab large green colored pom poms, crumbled up green tissue paper, fabric scraps – let those creative juices soar as you make your craft come to life in a unique way!
