Supplies Needed for Leprechaun Hat Treat Cups:
- Green Paper Cups
- Black, Light Green, and Dark Green Craft Foam (can also use Cardstock or Heavy Construction Paper)
- Gold Glitter Paper
- Cricut Maker or Explore Air 2 Cutting Machine (optional) or Scissors
- Glue or Tape (we recommend a Low-Temperature Glue Gun or Quick-Dry Tacky Glue)
- Treat Mix – we used Gold Caramel Chocolates, Rainbow Jelly Beans, and Popcorn

Use your Cricut machine and this Leprechaun Hat Treat file to cut your pieces from the materials. If you don’t have a cutting machine, you can also easily cut these by hand with scissors or a craft knife.
Note: If using the Cricut Maker to cut craft foam, I recommend using the “Flex Foam” setting with the Rotary Blade. If using the Cricut Explore Air 2, I recommend the “Craft Foam” setting with the Deep-Point Blade.

Use your adhesive of choice to add the pieces on to the paper cups.
