What could be more charming than a row of these jaunty little leprechauns atop of plate of cupcakes? Miniature top hats (for miniature snowmen perhaps?) spray-painted green, make the perfect topper to these toppers!
Materials needed: miniature black plastic Top Hats, green spray paint, orange bump chenille pipe cleaners, 1″ wooden beads, cake pop sticks, green sparkly card stock, scalloped circle 1″ hole punch, regular hole punch, black pen, pink marker, hot glue gun.
Step 1: Spray paint the miniature black top hats with green paint. Let dry.
Step 2: Punch out a 1” scalloped circle. Punch the center with a regular hole punch.
Step 3: Using hot glue, secure the bead to the cake pop stick. Slide the green circle up and secure to the bead with more hot glue, making a collar for the leprechaun.
Step 4: Carefully draw two eyes and a smiling mouth on the bead. Use marker to create two cheery pink cheeks.
Step 5: Cut the bump section from the pipe cleaner, and hot glue it to the bead to create the beard.
Step 6: Hot glue the green top hat to the top of the bead with hot glue. Insert into cupcakes and Erin Go Braugh!

These are cute, but I have to admit something about disembodied leprechaun heads gives me the creeps – sort of like they’re severed heads placed on spikes. I made bump chenille leprechauns for my office’s St. Patrick’s Day party so people can have a “leprechaun hunt”. If they find one around the office the prize is a mini plastic cauldron filled with gold candy in a celo bag tied with a rainbow ribbon (“pot of gold at the end of the rainbow”) and a rosette prize ribbon in green, white, & orange, with a metalic green pipe cleaner four-leaf clover and a gold plastic coin glued in the middle. I thought about gluing the same vintage leprechaun head image I used for the chenille leprechauns in the middle as well so they’d be
explicitly “Leprechaun Catcher Awards”, but I realized it might look like they caught, stuffed, and mounted the leprechaun’s head a la a big game hunter so I decided against it. Thank you for this crafting therepy session.
