Leprechaun Hat Vase Centerpiece
Here at Ruffles and Rain Boots, I love fresh flowers. Give me an excuse to bring a little color and fragrance inside and I’m sold.
I saw this snowman hat on clearance and knew immediately what I’d make with it: a fun leprechaun hat vase as a centerpiece for our table! It was very, very quick to come together and I had everything on hand. Let’s get started.

Tips When Making This Fun St. Patrick’s Day Decor Idea
I know you want to jump right in and get started, but after making this little leprechaun decor craft, here are a few things I’ll share:
- You can get the hats (without the holly and berries) on them on Amazon here (they’re not called snowman hats)!
- Take your time in getting the hot glue off that’s under the holly and berries. It makes a difference.
- If you have a gold card stock (without glitter) that would probably be better. I didn’t have any.
- Be sure to move the entire centerpiece by placing your hand underneath the open hat. ;)
