DIY Party Mom: Leprechaun Plastic Canvas Hat Headband Pattern

Pinch proof yourself and look super cute doing it with this easy to follow free plastic canvas pattern. This Leprechaun Hat is easy to make with basic plastic canvas skills, a sheet of plastic canvas, and 2 4-1/2 inch plastic canvas circles.

With St Patrick's day only a few days away, I need to make sure that I'm pinch proof.

Since I have three boys, there is a lot of pinching going on if you aren't super obvious about your green on St Patrick's.

So to protect myself, I decided to try several things so I'm sporting green in a super cute (and obvious) way.

This Leprechaun Hat plastic canvas pattern turned out way cuter than I thought it would and I'm super excited to wear it on St Patrick's day.

If you have basic plastic canvas pattern skills, it should be pretty easy and quick to make.

You'll need:

1 sheet 7 count plastic canvas
2 4-1/2 inch plastic canvas circles
Headband
Glue
Green, Yellow, and Black yarn
Plastic Canvas Needles and scissors

Start by cutting a regular 7 count piece of plastic canvas into a xxx hole by xxx hole rectangle.

Sew the black brim pattern using alternating goblin stitch squares.

Add yellow buckle in slanting continental stitch.

Add green yarn according to pattern.

Sew both edges together to form a ring using an overcast stitch.

Using one of the 4 1/2 inch circles, cut around the inside of the circle so that there are 5 squares on the outside.

Sew green.

Overcast outside of circle, but not inside.

Join the inside of the circle to the bottom of the Hat below the green single stitch.

Using second 4 1/2 inch circle, cut just outside the edge of the 5 holes and the center of the circle where the "x" is located to give yourself more room in the center.

Follow pattern to sew the top of the hat circle.

Join outside edge of circle to top of the Leprechaun hat.
