Instructions For Your Leprechaun Top Hat
Follow the instructions below to make your own leprechaun cap.
1. Gather Supplies for Your Leprechaun Hat
Once you have gathered your supplies, it’s time to start. Start off by covering the toilet paper roll with green felt paper. Crafting glue works great to hold the felt to the toilet paper roll.
However, I’m sure you could make any glue you have on hand work. Just make sure to cover the entire toilet paper roll.
If you don’t have green felt paper, a great alternative is to use green paint or construction paper.
2. Assemble Your Leprechaun Hat
Once the toilet paper roll is covered and dry, use the access great felt to cut two circles from the felt paper. Make one circle just big enough to cover the top of the mini leprechaun hat.
The second green circle should be slightly bigger, like the image below.
3. Finish Making the Hat
The two circles you cut out should be used to cover the toilet paper roll’s top and bottom. The bigger circle should go on the bottom, and the smaller one should go on the top.
Step 4: Add Final Touches to the Hat
Does your hat look similar to the one below? If it does, great! Now, grab your black and yellow construction papers.
Using the black paper, cut out a small skinny rectangle that will wrap around the hat like a buckle. Make sure that the length can wrap the entire paper roll.
5. Create the Buckle
Next, cut a square from the yellow construction paper. Cut a small square inside of the yellow paper, like in the image below. Lastly, attach it to the black construction paper. Once you’ve assembled them, attach the buckle to the paper roll.
Leprechaun Hat Finished Project
And you’re done! How did your leprechaun hat craft turn out? Now, it’s time to decorate it if your child chooses to do so. You can set out glitter, stickers, markers, you name it, and let your child make their leprechaun hat uniquely their own.
