10 Craft Ideas to do With Leprechaun Coloring Pages
Once those finished coloring pages pile up, put them to good use with these easy and affordable Leprechaun crafts!
1. Lucky Leprechaun Hat Headband
Cut out a colored leprechaun hat from your page. Glue it to a strip of green construction paper, sized to fit around your head like a band. Add a buckle shape cut from yellow paper for extra flair, and wear your new lucky hat!
2. Pot of Gold Coin Drop Game
Cut out a colored leprechaun figure from a page. Glue him to the top of a small cardboard box painted black, representing a pot of gold. Cut a slit in the box for kids to “feed” gold coin shapes cut from yellow paper, making a fun game.
3. Rainbow Bridge Mobile
Cut cloud shapes from white construction paper and a vibrant rainbow arch from colorful paper strips. Glue a cutout leprechaun from your coloring page so he appears to be standing at one end of the rainbow. Hang everything with string from a bent pipe cleaner or small stick for a magical display.
4. Waving Leprechaun Puppet Pal
Carefully cut out a full-body leprechaun from a finished coloring page. Glue the cutout to a wide popsicle stick or a sturdy craft stick. Now you have a fun puppet to put on a show or make “appear” from behind furniture.
5. Golden Shamrock Bookmark
Cut out a leprechaun's head or a small shamrock from your coloring page. Laminate it with clear packing tape or self-adhesive laminating sheets for durability. Punch a hole at the top and tie a yellow or green ribbon through it, so your lucky leprechaun can mark your spot in any book.
6. Tricky Leprechaun Door Hanger
Draw and cut a door hanger shape from green poster board or cardstock, including the hole for the doorknob. Glue a cut-out leprechaun figure, shamrocks, or a pot of gold from your coloring pages onto the hanger. Write a cheeky “No Humans Allowed!” message for some leprechaun mischief.
7. Leprechaun Treasure Chest
Decorate a small shoebox or craft box by painting it to look like wood or covering it with brown construction paper. Cut out leprechaun faces, shamrocks, and gold coins from your coloring pages and glue them all over the outside of the chest. Fill it with “gold” chocolate coins for a sweet surprise!
8. Magic Window Cling Leprechaun
Cover a colored leprechaun or shamrock cutout from your page with clear contact paper on both sides. Trim closely around the shape. Lightly dampen the back with a little water, and press it onto a window or mirror for a temporary, festive decoration that looks like magic.
9. Leprechaun Gold Coin Garland
Cut out many small leprechaun faces or gold coin shapes from several colored pages. Punch a hole in the top of each cutout. Thread them onto a long piece of yarn or string, alternating between leprechauns and coins, to create a festive garland for a mantel or doorway.
10. “Catch a Leprechaun” Trap Bait
Build a simple trap using a shoebox, a stick, and a piece of string, propping the box up. Cut out several shiny gold coins and a leprechaun figure from your coloring pages. Place them inside the trap as tempting “bait” to lure in a real leprechaun overnight!
