Make a leprechaun top hat out of a paper plate and construction paper. This is best made by the older kids.
Materials needed – 1 large paper plate, Green tissue paper, Green construction paper (of the same shade of green), stapler, tape, black tissue paper, Green glitter foam sticker paper
Instructions:
- Cut the center out of a paper plate.
- Wrap the paper plate with tissue paper, making the brim of your leprechaun hat.
- Cut out 2 X 8 inch strips of green construction paper (approximately 8)
- Fold the strips 1 inch from the top.
- Lay the folded strip inside the circle and staple into place. Repeat all the way around the brim.
- Cut out strips of green tissue paper. Apply glue and attach to connect where the construction paper strips meet.
- Cut the top so that it is even. Cut out a strip of green tissue paper and make a border around the top.
- Cut out a 6 inch piece of black tissue paper. Fold it, so that it is double sided. Apply glue and wrap it around the hat where the brim meets the center of the hat. This will cover up any rough edges.
- Use gold glitter foam sticker paper to make a buckle. Cut out a rectangle and cut out the center and stick it to the hat.
- Cut out a shamrock from green glitter foam sticker paper and apply it to the hat. Try to make it look like it was stick into the buckle.
