Leprechaun Hat Headband Craft
Make this easy Leprechaun Hat Headband Craft for St. Patrick's Day fun!
Materials
- - green paper cup
- - glitter green card stock
- - black strip of paper
- - rectangle piece of yellow paper
- - pipe cleaners - green and/or gold
- - plain headband
Tools
- hot glue and scissors
Instructions
1. Using the cup as a guide, trace a circle on the back of your glitter card stock, making it slightly bigger than the cup. Cut out the circle and hot glue your cup to the glitter side of it. This is the brim of your hat.
2. Make a band on your hat by gluing on a black strip of paper and yellow "buckle" you've created out of your rectangle of paper.
3. Next, let's create some cute pipe cleaner clovers! Loop the end of the pipe cleaner around your finger. Twist another loop across from your first loop like a bow. Continue making loops around your finger until you have 4 loops. Twist the remainder of the pipe cleaner down to be your clover stem.
4. Once you've made a few clovers, stick them into the band of your hat and secure them with a bit of hot glue.
5. Lastly, using hot glue, glue your hat to your headband. Let it dry and you're done!

I love this idea, it is so thoughtful and creative! Looks simple enough that with some directions even most kids could quietly do this project on their own.
Angela says
This is such a fun and cute idea. I wonder if my 1.5 year old would wear a headband for more than 5 seconds LOL
I should probably make two one for her and one for me at least I know that one will wear it for sure.
