St. Patrick's Day-Have You Seen Our Brand New St. Patrick's Day Candy Bar Wrappers and Hershey Nugget Wraps?

One of our favorite holidays will be arriving soon so we wanted to design

a new candy bar wrap that just screams "St Patrick's Day" They make great

party favors, classroom treats, lunchbox treats, and more.

They were designed specifically for the regular sized chocolate

Hershey bars.....that makes them a SWEET treat. It's a kit where

everything you need is supplied, except the Hershey bar and your favorite glue.

The center of the shamrock consists of a green flower with a brad. Multiple

colors of Shamrock green brads are included in the kit. Super simple to put

together. There is even a green candy dot for the "i" in Irish.

The tag "Luck of the Irish is elevated with two foam dots.

These candy Irish candy bar wraps would be so much fun to take to

the office and give your employees or co-workers. Sure to bring a smile to their faces.

Our next newest addition are these cute Lucky Clover nugget wraps.

Each one comes with a double shamrock and a sparkly green candy

dot on top. Before topping the Hershey chocolate Nugget with shamrocks

you wrap a piece of ribbon around it. They are also a kit.

A tray and clear cellophane bag are also included so you can "Gift Wrap"

the chocolate. Just add the 'Luck of the Irish" tag and twine and you've got

something sweet AND fun! Four chocolate nuggets per set, just enough

chocolate for their sweet tooth.

Sets of 6, 8 or 12 are available....how many friends,

co-workers or employees

do you have? Give out the

"Luck of the Irish" this St. Patrick's Day.....

Tutorial for St. Patrick's Day Garland / Banner-Super Simple!

St. Patrick's Day is right around the corner, and time to think about decorations.

This St. Patrick's Day banner is sooooo simple to put together. The hardest thing

might be choosing the colors to make it out of! As it says above, banners aren't

meant just to hang on the wall. Use it in other ways, perhaps draping around

some of your other decor. Hang it on the wall vertically or horizontally.

Choose at least 2 different colors for your banner. You can use as many as you like though.

We used 4 different pieces of cardstock....light green, dark green, gold, and one with

a design. Be sure to select colors that compliment one another. A good Irish red

would have been fun to add into my banner.

After cutting out your shamrocks, put them in pairs. Then place your shamrock pairs

in the order that you want them to appear in the banner. Then you can start sewing.

We are offering the SHAMROCKS to make this banner in our

Etsy shop...... Just in case you don't want to cut them out

yourself ...... Click HERE

Use a scrap piece of cardstock to sew lines until you get the stitch to look the way

you want....not too tight, not too loose. I have a Bernina sewing machine and the

straight stitch length is set on 2. The zigzag stitch length is set at 0. Now stitch down

through the middle of each shamrock and through the stem. I always let the machine

run for 5 to 8 stitches in-between each piece. This will provide a little space between

the shamrock. Be sure to use a thread color that matches your

main colors. We used green here.

Here is the beginning of our banner, three shamrocks down 15 more to go.

The length of this stitch is good. As I said before, not too tight, not too loose.

Our shamrocks measured 2.5" wide and 3" tall.

You could also make your banner one dimensional by sewing just one

shamrock at a time instead of putting 2 shamrocks together.

It would basically look like this photo.

OTHER FUN THINGS YOU CAN DO WITH THE SHAMROCKS:

Scatter the shamrocks down the center of your buffet or dining table

Put the shamrocks on a skewer or a lollipop stick and top your cupcakes

Use them as a food pick for breads, desserts etc

Put them on the front of a treat bag

Hang the banner vertically instead of horizontally

Pin the shamrocks on the kids so they don't get pinched on St. Patrick's Day

Include them on your St. Patrick's Day wreath

Write notes to the kids on them and put in their lunchbox

Now all that's left to do is fold each shamrock in towards itself.

The stitching line makes it easy to bend. Now just hang your wall quote

on the wall, the fireplace mantel or around your other decorations.

This one can also be hung horizontally as we faced the shamrocks going

all the same way. Have fun making one for yourself!

We have some really cute St Patrick's Day printables and Candy Card kits that

would be perfect for your St. Patrick's Day celebration in our Etsy shop.

all the cut out shamrocks you would need for this banner.
