Egg Leprechauns

This is our last project related to Saint Patrick's Day. We're making Egg Leprechauns. Same procedure with our Santa Elves and Santa Angels.

To start, we need Empty egg shells , gold and green ribbons, green construction paper and googly eyes. Oh and also we need orange yarn.

Cut a small rectangle from the construction paper and make cylinder out of it.

Glue the egg on one mouth of the cylinder.

Cut small strings of yarn and glue them on top of the egg.

Leprechaun is an old elf so add mustache and beard for him.

Trim the excess yarn.

It's time to add the small details. Add the googly eyes

I also made a small leprechaun hat for our Egg Leprechaun. (Check the bigger version of the hat here)

Add the rest of the details and you're done.

Now let's check my siblings' works.

Milzon busy adding details to his Mini Leprechaun.

Our Egg Leprechauns

Leprechaun Trap

According to tradition, leprechauns are sneaky but jolly little creatures that sneak into houses to steal gold! This is the reason why people are making trap. It is said that when you caught Leprechaun, he will surrender to you all his gold from the end of the rainbow. So in celebration of the Saint Patrick's Day, We will make a Leprechaun Trap today.

We Need two empty boxes and colored papers.

Make a door-like hole in the middle of one side of the big box,.

And make a small one on the other side.

Here's how it looks like.

Simply cover the box with green colored paper.

(Inside View)

Get the small box.

Make a small door-like hole on both opposite sides.

Cover the small box with a yellow (or any color you want) and combine it to the big box using glue gun.

To make it more appealing for Leprechaun,We made a Shamrock-designed door.

Here's how it looks like.

Make it more attractive by adding some colorful details like the Rainbow that we attached and the green colored ribbon that we placed in each edges.

Start making the trap. We make use of this Green Disposable cup. We attached it in a string and we put a small hole on the top. We pulled the cup a bit higher so that leprechaun would not notice it >.<

Leprechaun is attracted to gold so we placed some gold coins( they are actually bronze coins ) and then we sprinkle some gold glitters.

We're all set....

We're reasy now to catch Leprechaun... Wish us luck hehe

Leprechaun Hat

We're going green today as we're going to make a Leprechaun Hat. A leprechaun is a type of fairy in Irish folklore, usually taking the form of an old man, clad in a red or green coat, who enjoys partaking in mischief. The Leprechauns spend all their time busily making shoes, and store away all their coins in a hidden pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. If ever captured by a human, the Leprechaun has the magical power to grant three wishes in exchange for their release.

To start, we need Cardboard, Green colored paper and a glue gun

First, you have to measure your head so that it is possible for you to wear the hat.

Now get a big sized plate and draw a circle on the cardboard

Cut it out.

Draw a small circle on the center using the measurement that we get awhile ago.

You should produce something like this

Cover the circle with green colored paper

Cover both side.

Now make a huge cyclinder

Cover the cylinder with green colored paper

Then combine the two using glue gun.

Make a small circle cut-out and cover it on the top of the cylinder.

Cover the edges with gold ribbon

You should end up into something like this.

We added some details like the clover leaves design on top.

Tadah! We're done with our Leprechaun Hat
