Little Leprechauns!

Who could forget these adorable little "love bugs"? 

Certainly not me.. especially since they won't let me!  So I decided that in honor of St Patty's Day they needed to bring a little luck to this semi Irish household!  So here they are remade into my Lucky Little Leprechauns!

And here is a quick tutorial on you can score some luck of your own!

Ingredients

four wood blocks of varying sizes

acrylic paint

paint chip samples

Mod Podge

cut out heads
rainbow colored ribbon

a little imagination!

I started with my four wood blocks.  I painted them to look like grass and sky. 

Then I made a template for the Leprechaun outfits the kids would wear. 

Then I cut the shapes of their outfits out of the paint chips.

  Once they were cut out I Mod Podged them down onto the corresponding block. 

Then I used my Cricut to cut out the word "Lucky".  

And of course every Leprechaun HAS to have a pot of gold!  So I made mine out of black paper and pom poms.

Last I added ribbon to the back in the shape and colors of a rainbow.

Now I have one very unhappy 5 year old who did not want to be a "Love Bug" and is even more horrified to be made into a Leprechaun.  But I had a lot of fun making it.. so there!  (insert rasberry sound here!)
