Leprechaun Bottle Topper's for St Patrick's Day
St Patrick's Day is just around the corner and when we were younger, St Paddy’s day was all about pub crawls and eating lots of weird green things. Those days are long gone but we still celebrate this Irish holiday. This year we decided to make some of these leprechaun bottle toppers for our favorite green beer.
They are really easy to make too. All you need is a piece of green felt, stockings, black fabric, a soda pop thingy, tinfoil, orange furry fabric and a glue gun. 
The leprechaun bottle topper took about 5 minutes to put together. Cut the green felt into a cone shape and then roll it up, making sure that the back edge lines up nicely before gluing it down.
Scrunch some tinfoil up into a cone form and stuff it inside the hat. The tinfoil acts as a stopper and you can bend it to give the hat more character.
To make the nose, just cut the stocking and stuff with cotton wool before tying it off with an elastic band or a piece of string.
Make a hat band using the soda pop tab and a strip of black fabric.
Glue the nose onto the inside of the hat, add the hatband and a piece of the orange furry fabric and your done.
The leprechaun bottle toppers are a fun and easy way to add a bit of Irish luck to St Patrick's day.
Do you celebrate St. Patrick's day? I'd love to hear what you do. Sláinte mhaith.
P.S. You can get the pattern for the hat on the blog and lots of step by step photos of how we made our lucky leprechaun.
