Leprechaun Kiss Me I'm Irish -Plastic Canvas Hershey Kiss Holder

Waaay back in the 80's I was asked to make 150 of these plastic canvas "squeeze cheeks" ornaments for a Christmas party, in a Santa design. Oh the things we do at the holidays... I see many ideas and different designs on Pinterest but wanted to add this Leprechaun ~Kiss Me I'm Irish~ Hershey Kiss Holder, I think he turned out kinda cute! They can be silly gifts or ornaments and I really think they'd make cute necklaces for little girls.

You basically start out with three squares of plastic canvas that are 10x10 holes, the face is one square turned to look like a diamond. I made big loops with yarn for hair and the curly beard. I would trim the point of the hat off the next time (remove the last square.) That would give the hat a different look (this one actually looks a bit like a cowboy hat to me:@). For the brim of the hat, I just cut around a couple extra squares on each side of the face piece. You can, and probably should, sew in every hole of the canvas, since this was just a fun little experiment for myself I kept the face stitches long.

There are many tutorials out there so I won't make another one, there are some good links HERE and HERE. 

Have fun with it, kids really do get a kick out of them!

Make something silly and have a happy day:@)
