St. Patrick's Day Treat Box

I love celebrating St. Patrick's Day with kids. From building a leprechaun trap to having an entire breakfast colored green. It's so fun to see the excitement and wonder in their eyes as they wake up the morning of St. Patrick's Day to see if they caught a leprechaun while they chow down on green pancakes and sip green milk.

Even if we don't catch a leprechaun, those little gnomes always leave a good luck gift for the kids.

They're quick and easy to put together, so let's get started!

Supplies used:

Lime Green Favor Gift Baskets

Small Favor Tubes

Chocolate Gold Coins

Skittles

Bakers Twine

Fill a small tube with Skittles or any kind of rainbow candies. Tie several strands of bakers twine around the goodie basket handle and favor tube.

Download the rainbow printable HERE and attach it to the front of the box.

Fill to the brim with chocolate golden coins, Rolos or any other gold candies you can think of.

And there you have it! Quick and simple leprechaun goodie bags for the kids. Won't they love waking up to a pot of gold? I know I would!

Thanks so much for stopping by and may the luck o' the Irish be with you!

Santa Sack Delivery Tote

One of our family's favorite holiday traditions is our North Pole Breakfast.

Beginning on the first Saturday in December, little elves ( shhhh...it's actually me) make a yummy, festive breakfast and bring Christmas pajamas for our little girl to wear throughout the Christmas season. This year I thought it would be fun for the elves to bring a special delivery sack straight from Mr. Claus himself!

Here's what you'll need:

Plain canvas bag
Green heat transfer vinyl
White heat transfer vinyl
Santa sack SVG cutting flie
Iron or EasyPress
Ribbon
Cricut Design Space

Directions:

I thought this Santa SVG image was adorable but you can use any santa sack image you want....or even design your own!

Using the tote bag template, position your santa sack image over the tote until you achieve the desired size.

Next, using the text feature, type your child's name and place it over the banner to achieve the correct size.

Once you have positioned your child's name over the banner and achieved the size you've desired, remove the name and place it to the side of the canvas.

Cut the Santa sack image in green heat transfer and your child's name in white heat transfer.

Place the cut image on top of the tote sticky side down and iron the image on to the tote for 30 seconds.

Carefully peel and remove the top layer of plastic.

Next, iron on the child's name on top of the banner.

Tuck in a pair of new Christmas jammies and you're all set! I can't wait to see my daughter's face when she sees her special delivery straight from the North Pole!
