Leprechaun Hats Decorative Accents
These cute little accents will bring luck to any
table, windowsill, mantle or sideboard and all it
takes is 15 minutes to make one for your home this
Saint Patrick's Day.
What you will need:
black and green construction paper
shamrock die-cuts (cutouts)
green filler (saved from gift baskets etc.)
a berry basket
Directions:
1. Make the Leprechaun hat first. Cut out a
rectangle from the black construction paper and roll
it to form the hat, gluing the ends. You will need
black circles for the top and bottom of the hat.
Place the drum-shaped hat upright on construction
paper and mark an exact circle around the base. Cut
it out and cut another circle larger than this one.
Glue the smaller circle (the one that fits the base)
on one side and the large on the other side.
2. Glue a strip of green paper around the base of
the hat, just before the larger circle and add a
shamrock cutout to it.
3. Glue some shamrock cutouts to the edge of the
basket.
4. Fill the basket with the green paper shredding
filler and place the hat on it.
