Materials

  • Paper cup
  • Colored cardstock
  • Scissors
  • Glue
  • Double sided tape or glue dots optional
  • Leprechaun Template

Instructions

  • Download the Leprechaun template, print, and cut out the pieces you need.
  • Begin to assemble the face by gluing the mustache and the nose onto the face piece.
  • Take the eyes and glue them, one on each side, just above the nose.
  • Attach the hat on top of the leprechaun’s head and glue it in place.
  • Place the outer buckle in the middle of the hat band and glue it in place. Glue the inner buckle to the middle of the outer buckle. Trim off any excess paper that hangs off the sides of the hat.
  • Assemble the shirt by gluing the 3 buttons in the middle of the cup.
  • Finish up by gluing the head to the top of the paper cup. We like to use a glue dot or double-sided tape here because there’s no drying time, but you can also use a glue stick.
