Supplies Used: Cardstock, Double-Sided Tape, Glue, Scissors, Self-Adhesive Magnets, Stickers

The teacher will die-cut the materials for student use prior to the lesson.

The pull of magnets will hold this bookmark in place when draped over a page.

1. Fold a beige or white piece of cardstock or construction paper in half lengthwise. The paper needs to be twice as long as the Leprechaun die.
2. Using the Leprechaun die, place the folded paper just inside the top cutting edge of the die, just below the top of the hat, and cut. This will form a hinge (Figure A).
3. Die-cut the Leprechaun using multiple colors of cardstock, construction or patterned paper.
4. Decorate and layer one or both sides of the die-cut using glue or double-sided tape. To layer, leave one color whole and cut highlights from other colors. Add stickers if desired (Figure B).
5. Cut self-adhesive magnets (or any magnet) into two 1" x 2" rectangles.
6. Open the decorated Leprechaun and adhere a magnet strip to the inside of one figure. Adhere with glue or double-sided tape if not using self-adhesive magnet.
7. If using self-adhesive magnets, stick the two magnet strips together. Unpeel one backing paper and adhere to opened Leprechaun (Figure C).
8. Place the second magnetic strip on top of the first magnet and place double-sided tape on top if not using self-adhesive magnets. Fold the Leprechaun closed to adhere the second magnet.
9. If using self-adhesive magnets, unpeel the backing of the second magnet and fold the Leprechaun closed (Figure D).
10. This will ensure the magnets are aligned (Figure E).
