lucky charm

St. Patrick’s Day is a celebrated holiday in my house ~ after all, I have an Irish hubby, a son named Jameson and a little Irish blood running through my mostly Italian veins.

This year, I created DIY treats to spread luck and cheer to our family and friends. All they need to enjoy it is a cold cup of milk and a spoon. I admit, it’s not the healthiest breakfast or snack, but kids love it, and it’s justifiable at least once a year to celebrate the luck of the Irish.

Jenna at Fleur de Lis, a paperie, created these adorable “lucky charm’ custom tags to attach to my treat bags.

All You Need Is:

• 1 box of Lucky Charms cereal
• Green pipe cleaners or ribbon
• Clear Party Bags {I used Wilton Clear Party Bags, 4×9.5 inches}
• Scissors to cut the tags and bags
• Custom tags

How To:

• Fill the bag with a cup or so of Lucky Charms.
• Cut each tag, and punch a hole through each one to attach to favor.
• Wrap or tie the green pipe cleaner around the bag tight, add the custom tag and make either a bow or a 3-leaf clover to complete the look.
• Gather the excess bag on top, and cut to your preferred length.
