How to Make the Coffee Filter Leprechaun Craft:

Flatten round coffee filters, and color completely with orange washable marker. Add in some yellow and red. Place on a gallon size zipper bag or metal baking sheet pan and then mist with a water spray bottle. Set aside to dry.
STEP TWO:
Once dry, fold orange coffee filter in half. Apply gold glitter glue in a swirl pattern over the entire folded coffee filter. Set aside to dry.
STEP THREE:
Paint bottom one-third of the clothespin with peach or light pink craft paint. Paint the top two-thirds of the clothespin with green craft paint.
STEP FOUR:
Draw and then cut a mustache shape from orange craft paper with scissors. Attach mustache to bottom of clothespin and wiggle eyes just above using glue gun and glue sticks. Using the end of a paintbrush add a dot of peach craft paint for the Leprechaun’s nose.
STEP FIVE:
Cut a rectangular hat brim from green paper and glue to clothespin where the green and flesh tone paint meet. Draw a square of gold glitter glue above hat brim as a buckle.
STEP SIX:
Once glitter glue is dry clip the clothespin Leprechaun head onto the coffee filter beard.
