Hi there friends! Today I am sharing an assembly tutorial for the 3D Leprechaun Hat (SVG, Silhouette). As soon as this paper collection came out, I knew I wanted to craft with it. It is the Happy St. Patrick’s Day collection by Echo Park Paper Co. This little hat is the perfect size for a tiered tray or to hold a little treat for someone special.
This cut file has five circles, two long strips with tabs, and two buckle pieces. The tabs are all mountain folds.
I started with the narrow strip first. This will be the hats brim. I added glue to the end tab and attached to the other end creating a circle. I then folded over all the tabs and added glue to each tab on the inside of the cup. Then I put one of the same-colored circles inside the cup and pressed down on each tab against my work surface making sure to shape and secure each one. I flipped the cup over and glued the second same colored circle on the top covering the tabs. With the wide strip and the two smaller remaining circles I repeated the steps making a taller cup.
I really like how it turned out and will be adding it to my tiered tray decor next month. Thanks for stopping by today!
