The new teachers are meeting again this afternoon so, of course, they need a St. Patrick's Day treat. I decided to put a St. Patrick's Day spin on the Valentine Treat Bags I made for my friends last month (they were a big hit).
I cut 1 3/8 X 3 inch strips out of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple scrapbook paper. Some of it I had in my stash and some of it I found at Michaels. I wrapped the paper around some Hershey's Miniatures using my tape gun. I placed the chocolate bars in Wilton preztel bags in a rainbow pattern.
I tied a bow around the top of the bag using some green ribbon from my stash. I printed some St. Patrick's Day tags and cut them out with a 2-inch punch. I punched a hole in the top of the tags and attached them to the ribbon using some baker's twine (I love this stuff and recently bought some more colors).
Go here to download the tags.
I hope the new teachers like them. Give these a try!
Darling! I love to papercraft, too!
