Ingredients
- Empty tin can
- 1 Pencil
- Construction paper green, black and yellow
- Scissors
- Hot glue gun
Instructions
- Cut out a large strip of green paper that is as wide as your can when it's laying down on its side. Glue the green strip around the can.
- Cut out a long, thin strip of black construction paper to form the Leprechaun hat's black band. Glue the black strip around the can.
- Cut out a small rectangle of yellow/gold paper. Fold the paper in half, and then cut out the center to form the Leprechaun hat's buckle. Glue the buckle to the center of the black band.
- Cut out a circle of green construction paper to form the base of the hat. NOTE: Consider tracing a round object like a bowl to achieve a perfect round shape. Glue the tin can hat to the base.

Notes
The cans' inner rim (where the lid was removed) can be sharp. To dull the inner rim, we wrapped it with a couple layers of tape. Alternatively, if there is access paper at the top of the can, simply fold and glue it into the inner rim of the can.
Decorate your Leprechaun hat! We drew a Shamrock on our hat, but kids can get as creative as they'd like. St. Patrick's Day stickers might come in handy for this part!
