How to make your own Lucky Leprechaun Craft
STEP 1: Print out our free leprechaun template
First, start by printing out the leprechaun template and cutting out the pieces. You can find the template at the bottom of this tutorial.
STEP 2: Trace template and cut out coloured cardstock
Now it is time to trace around the leprechaun templates onto coloured card. Trace around the large circle template on skin-coloured paper and cut it out. This will create your leprechauns face.
Then cut out the large skewed rectangle and rectangle strip from green paper. This is for your leprechauns hat.
Cut another rectangle strip and LUCKY letters from the orange paper for your leprechauns hair and beard.
To make the belt for your leprechauns hat cut the smallest strip and smallest square from brown paper. Finally, trace and cut the bigger square from the gold glitter paper for the buckle on the belt.

STEP 3: Assemble the Leprechaun hat
Now it's time to see your leprechaun craft start to come together. Start by assembling the hat, glue the long green strip to the bottom of the green skewed rectangle. Make the hat’s belt by gluing the small brown square to the gold square, then glue that to the long brown strip.
STEP 4: Create the Leprechauns' hair!
You're going to have fun with this next part. It's time to make your leprechauns hair. Take the orange strip and cut slits down the entire length. Give the fringe a little fluff and glue it under the brim of the hat to act as the leprechaun’s hair.
STEP 5: Make your lucky leprechauns beard.
This lucky leprechauns beard is extra special! You are going to make the beard by gluing the letters used to make the word LUCKY to the leprechaun’s chin.
TIP: To keep the beard centred, start with the C first.
STEP 6: Give your leprechaun a face
Now it's time to give your leprechaun a cute face by popping on some google eyes and the pom-pom nose. Lastly, put a smile on your leprechaun by drawing on a smile with a black marker and your lucky leprechaun craft is complete!
The template pieces can also be coloured instead of tracing and cutting coloured cardstock so feel free to get your coloured pencils out and colour away instead.
