Materials Needed
- Styrofoam Plate
- Orange Paint, Marker or Crayon
- Green, Yellow and Black Construction Paper
- Orange Yarn
- Toothpick or Needle
- Glue or Glue Stick
- Wooden Craft Stick
- Scissors
- Tape
Directions
1. Paint or colour the foam plate with orange, almost all the way around. Let dry.
2. Cut a hat out of green paper. I traced the plate for the top and left it straight on the bottom. Then cut a strip out of yellow or black for the hatband. Cut a square from the other colour slightly bigger in height than the band. Fold the square in half and cut a smaller square out of the middle, the outside piece is your buckle.
3. Glue the strip and buckle together, then glue them to the green hat.
4. Cut the yarn into 6-inch pieces, I made 14 of them. Then poke holes in the plate with a toothpick. Guide the yarn in with the needle or a toothpick, pull through enough to tie at the other side. Turn the plate over and tie each piece of yarn in a knot so it won't pull through.
5. Cut a circle out of the middle of the plate. This is a good job for a parent because you need to use sharp scissors for a clean cut. If the edges get rough, use tape to smooth them over.
6. Glue or tape the hat onto the plate. Then attach a craft stick to the bottom so the child can hold the mask.
Now you have a Leprechaun Mask! Happy Saint Patrick's Day!
