Directions:
- First cut out a large circle out of the center of your paper plate {don’t cut the rim though!} to create an opening for your face in the leprechaun gnome mask.
- Discard inner piece.
- Next up – use a paint brush to paint the remaining paper plate piece completely orange.
- When done painting, set it aside to let it dry completely.

- Color in the hat and nose designs in the printable.
- When done coloring, cut out the two pieces and discard excess paper.
- Go ahead and staple {or glue} your colored in pieces to the painted paper plate. I suggest starting with the nose and then adding on the hat on top.
