I know Britta must be thinking… why would a perfectly lovely lady (me) knowingly encourage leprechauns to run amuck in the Thicket? Well…. because at heart, I think we all have a little leprechaun in us, especially at this time of year! So, I would like to introduce you to our little Gnome Leprechauns. And, yes, we do have multiple leprechauns in The Thicket, although it seems the ring leader of the group is this feisty little lad named Ronan. Ronan and his cohorts are country leprechauns, donning modified gnome hats, unlike the top hats and bowlers often seen on city leprechauns. (For those in the know… it looks a lot like a Gandalf or Sorting Hat 🙂
If you dare, you can make your own leprechaun… but be warned, Wee Folk Art accepts no responsibility to the havoc they may wreak! You can get the directions HERE or with our Free Patterns.
These are seriously cute. No kidding! Love your disclaimer, hehe.
adorable!! your creativity is truly endless. thanks for sharing!
SO CUTE, I love them! and their big floppy hats!
times like this make me really bummed I don’t have access to a car, or I would be on my way to the craft store right now to buy up all the green felt so I can make a whole colony of Leprechauns 🙂
Thank you for the leprechaun patterns. I also wanted to send a big thanks for alerting us about Caseys where you get your turnings. I ordered some items and wow, did they come fast, and nicely packed. Couldn’t be happier – a great source for wood products.
What great characters! 🙂 I know I sound like a broken record or a copycat…but I love ’em too! 🙂
I know people tell you your crafts are nice all the time, but do you really appreciate how gifted you really are? My friends and I are in a constant state of awe. How does she do it? we all ask. You are a mega talent with a mega heart. You must be the most wonderful friend ever. Thank you for sharing. We are all learning so much and our children are reaping the benefits. No wonder Michelle is so talented too. THANK YOU, BOTH! Off to make some trouble for our gnomies 😉
Wat zijn ze grappig !
De haasjes hier onder zijn ook erg lief !
Fijne avond , groetjes van Ingrid.
These are DARLING! You come up with the cutest projects. Thanks so much, I’ll be linking.
I LOVE your blog! Where can you buy the wooden pegs? I would enjoy making gnomes and leprechauns, but I haven’t seen similar wooden pegs at any local stores.
Although there are crafting shops that do carry them, I buy all of mine from 2 sources.
The first is A Child’s Dream. They are one of our sponsors and it is a beautiful shop for all kinds of natural crafting supplies. (See button on the right side bar.)http://achildsdream.com/doll_making/doll_bases_and_beads.htm
The other is Casey’s Wood
