- Grab your supplies.
- Out of the green construction paper, cut out a leprechaun hat. Cut out a black band and gold buckle from the black construction paper and gold foam sheet. Glue it to the top of the paper plate.
- Glue on googley eyes and draw a face.
- Take your cardboard tube and make about five cuts along one end. Round the edges of the resulting flaps.
- Pour some orange paint on to a paper plate and dip your cardboard tube into the paint.
- Use it to make prints all along the bottom of your leprechaun’s face to create his beard. Don’t forget to give him hair around his face as well!
