Directions:

  • First things first – grab your small paper plate and scissors.
  • Cut the paper plate, straight down the center, into TWO equal halves.
  • Reserve one half for today’s leprechaun craft and save the other for a rainy day.
  • Now grab your skin tone craft paint and foam paint brush.
  • Squirt some paint in the middle of the paper plate half and move it around with the foam paint brush, until the paper plate is completely covered.
  • When done painting, set aside the paper plate to allow it to dry completely.
  • Now grab your black cardstock and the scissors again.
  • Fold the black cardstock paper in half and open it back up.
  • Use scissors to again to cut straight up the center, to create two equal pieces.
  • Reserve one black paper piece for today’s craft and save the other for another day.
  • Now grab your orange colored chalk.
  • Make several lines, all over the black cardstock, to recreate the leprechaun’s beard. Add as much or as little as you like.
  • When done with the chalk, set aside the paper piece and clean your hands off with a few baby wipes.
  • Now grab your remaining pieces of cardstock paper.
  • Cut out a large, green leprechaun hat, an oval shaped nose and a gold, rectangle strip for his hat.
  • Once you have all your paper pieces cut out and the paper plate is dry to touch, it’s time to assemble your craft! Go ahead and grab all your paper pieces, the glue, wiggle eyes and stapler.
  • Start off by stapling the painted paper plate half to the top of the black cardstock with the orange chalk lines.
  • Follow that up by adding the hat on top of that, then the nose and of course, the small wiggles eyes so he can see.
  • Add any other embellishments you see fit {maybe some glitter or some holiday stickers for a festive look.}
