Kids will have so much fun making this easy leprechaun craft with just some popsicle sticks, paper, and paint! This leprechaun hat craft is a fun way to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with not a lot of prep or money, an easy craft for any age!
Line up the four craft sticks tightly together. Cut the remaining craft stick in half and tape (or glue) to the back of the painted sticks to connect them together.
Cut a strip of the black paper. Then cut a small rectangle out of the yellow paper, then cut a smaller rectangle out of the center of that rectangle to create the gold buckle.
1 piece black construction paper, 1 piece yellow construction paper
Then tape or glue those paper leprechaun pieces to the bottom of the leprechaun popsicle sticks to finish this adorable craft off.
Notes
Cut the craft stick in half instead of trying to break it. Talking from experience, popsicle sticks often don’t break in half like you want them to, and it’ll be no good to you if one piece is really small and one piece is long.Make sure to give the craft sticks ample time to dry before you tape or glue on top of them. Taping to wet paint is a great way to ruin these adorable leprechaun crafts! Want this craft to take more time for your kids? Have them paint both sides of the craft sticks.
