How to make a 3D leprechaun craft
The first page of your PDF includes instructions. You may want to give everyone a copy, or you may want to print just one per table or one per class. It’s up to you.
Your free printable (look for the row of purple arrows pointing at the download button) Printer access and paper Blunt tipped scissors Glue stick
In addition to your PDF instructions, I also have a quick tutorial video for you: First, print out one copy of page two and one copy of page three for each child who will be making the craft. Cut out the box. Fold and glue the tabs to make a cube. Cut out the leprechaun face, hat, and body accessories. Glue the hat to the head and the head to the body. Glue the belt and buttons to the body. Cut out the leg and arm pieces as well as the hands and feet. Fold the leg and arm strips to make small accordion-style pleats. Glue the boots to the bottom back of the leg pieces and the hands to the front ends of the arm pieces. Glue the legs and arms in place. Enjoy your lucky leprechaun craft!
