St. Patty's Day Hairstyles, The Leprechaun Trap

Another Fun St. Patrick's Day Hairdo...
The Leprechaun Trap!

I'm sorry we didn't get this hairstyle up sooner or take any step by step pictures. I know some of you have already done your St. Patrick's Day hairstyles a day early for school this year, but we wanted to share anyway. This was kind of a last minute thing today and is actually an idea brought on by our 5 yr old boy. He was excited to dress up our Little Pea for St. Patrick's Day. ;)

To create this style:

1. Make 4 braids along the front of her head and join them all together in the back with one elastic band.

2. Cut (3) 1-2 ft lengths of ribbon. Using a craft needle, sew the ribbons through 2 braids sitting next to each other in a criss cross pattern (the same way we have shown in other lacing hairstyles.) Repeat this process for the remaining braids.

3. Finish off the hairstyle by adding a bow or clover with the leftover ribbon.

There you have it... a lovely green web, perfect for catching a Leprechaun!
