Stuffed Leprechaun Belly Craft Supplies:
- Sandwich Baggie {the ziplock kind – one per leprechaun belly craft}
- Dark Green Colored Shredded Crinkle Paper {Dollar Tree is perfect!}
- Black Colored Cardstock
- Gold Glitter Colored Cardstock
- Kid Friendly Paper Scissors
- School Glue or Glue Stick
- optional – 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!
