Leprechaun Handprint for St Patrick’s Day

We’ll show you how to make this easy leprechaun handprint card. The best part is this doesn’t require hands to get messy (unless you want to!) and kids can create their own unique leprechaun face.

The handprint opens up to become a card so you can write a St Patrick’s Day message inside.  Write “Happy St Patrick’s Day!” inside or a different message like, “I’m so lucky to know you!”.  You only need a few supplies to make these and the kids will love getting their hands traced!

Steps to Make a St Patrick’s Day Handprint Craft

1. First fold over a piece of white cardstock and trace the handprint so that the folded part is at the pinky.

3. Make the hat by cutting out the hat shape from green glitter paper. Glue a strip of black on top and then glue a gold glitter paper buckle on top of this.

To make the buckle: cut out a square and then fold over so you can make a slit mark with scissors in the center. Then you can cut a smaller square in the center of the gold square.

5. Glue on two googly eyes and the pom pom nose.

6. Add two small circles to the side of the nose with pink paint for the cheeks.
