Directions:

First things first – grab your THREE jumbo popsicle sticks and glue them together in a simple triangle formation.
Set it aside to allow it to dry a bit. Repeat for each leprechaun house craft you want to create today.
When dry enough to touch, grab your popsicle stick shape, craft paint, paper plate and paint brush.
Squirt some green craft paint on the paper plate.
Use the paint brush to paint one side of the popsicle stick triangle shape completely.
Again, set it aside to allow it to dry completely.
Now grab your sheets of cardstock and scissors.
Cut out a large triangle from your green scrapbook paper or colored cardstock, that will fit inside the painted popsicle stick shape.
Out of the black cardstock, cut out a small leprechaun hat for the roof.
Out of the brown cardstock, cut out a door and a rectangle piece for the chimney.
Out of the white cardstock, cut out two circular windows.
Out of the gold glitter cardstock, cut out a “band” for the leprechaun hat.
Use the black Sharpie marker to give your paper pieces some dimension {like a door knob and window lines}
When ready – it’s time to assemble! Grab all your paper pieces, popsicle stick shape and school glue.
Start off my gluing the triangle paper piece to the back of the painted popsicle stick shape.
Follow that up with the “hat roof” on the top, front area of the popsicle stick shape.
Go ahead and add the window, door and chimney pieces.
Finally – add the St. Patrick’s Day stickers to the popsicle stick leprechaun house shape {like a few shamrocks and a rainbow coming from the chimney} to tie it all together.
Now allow it to dry completely before you display your craft stick leprechaun house creation proudly in your home!
