St. Patrick's Day Craft - Pipe Cleaner LEPRECHAUNS

These cute St. Patrick's Day Pipe Cleaner Leprechauns were inspired from this article.  This craft is quick, easy and mess free (that is, if your kids don't end up drawing on your dining room craft table ;)

All you need is:
Green Pipe Cleaners
Orange Wool (optional)
Card stock
Markers
Scissors
Tape

Assemble as shown:







Be careful though, the Leprechauns will try to steal your gold...



And if you have a pot of gold lying around, they will jump in and party...
... grab your gold...
...and run for the hills...
At least that is what our's tried to do...
