How to Draw a Leprechaun Hat

13 steps · Medium · about 10 min

Draw a leprechaun hat in 13 easy steps, about 10 minutes. Free, with a printable worksheet.

Each picture adds one red line. Draw that line, then scroll to the next picture. Rub out any dashed helper lines at the end. First up: flat top.

Step 1: Flat top
Near the top of your paper, draw a flat oval about a hand-width across.
Tip A wide flat oval like a squashed circle.
Step 2: The tall crown
From each end of the oval, draw a line down. Stop below the middle and join with a smile.
Step 3: Two big eyes
On the crown, a little above the middle, draw 2 big egg eyes an eye apart, with black dots.
Step 4: Smile and cheeks
Under the eyes, draw a wide U smile from the left eye to the right. Add cheeks at each end.
Step 5: The wide brim
Start at the crown's bottom-left corner. Draw a long flat brim out left, under, and stop at the bottom-right corner.
Tip Wider than the crown on both sides, like a plate.
Step 6: Thick brim
Start at the left tip of the brim. Draw a second smile a finger lower, out to the right tip.
Step 7: The hat band
Start on the left of the crown, a thumb above the bottom. Draw a smile across to the right side.
Step 8: The buckle
In the middle of the band, draw a square buckle a little taller than the band, with a square inside.
Step 9: A lucky shamrock
Above the band on the right, draw a shamrock of 3 circles, its stem touching the band. Add 2 sparkles.
Step 10: The ground
Start out on the left and draw one long straight ground line under the brim, stopping out on the right.
Step 11: Yellow and pink
Colour the buckle and the sparkles yellow, and the cheeks pink. Leave the eyes white.
Step 12: Green hat
Colour the shamrock light green, then the top, crown and brim green around the face, shamrock and buckle.
Step 13: Black band
Go over your lines, then colour the band black around the buckle. Your leprechaun hat is done!
