Directions:
- First things first – grab your THREE jumbo popsicle sticks and glue them together in a simple triangle formation.

- 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.
