✂️ How to Make a Leprechaun Hat (Step-by-Step)

1. Print the Leprechaun Hat Template

Print your leprechaun hat craft template on cardstock so it’s sturdy enough to wear.

2. Cut Out the Hat and Strips

Carefully cut out the leprechaun hat shape and the long strips included in the template.
(Pro tip: This is a great fine motor activity for preschoolers — just expect a few slightly “abstract” edges. It adds character. 😉)

3. Attach the Strips to the Hat

Glue, tape, or staple the strips to each side of the hat. These strips will wrap around your child’s head to hold the hat in place.

4. Fit Around the Head

Gently measure around your child’s head and adjust the strips for the perfect fit. Secure the ends together with glue, tape, or staples.

And just like that… you’ve got an adorable little leprechaun running around your house. 🍀✨
