Some of you know that I like to try my hand at folding money, so here is a free printable with a money shamrock (how-to) for you to try!

My oldest recently had some hard "adulting" moments. He put his beloved dog down, moved to a new rental house, and then his car was stolen from the alley. The cops did find the car after a couple of weeks, but it was in the impound lot with three slashed tires. It has been one thing after another...

I saw an Irish blessing on Pinterest that I thought was appropriate, so I made a free printable to go along with my money shamrock. I used dollar bills for the small hearts and a $20 for the stem.

Here is the YouTube video that I used.

Unfortunately there aren't any words for this one, but just pause at each step until you catch up. The one tricky part where I thought she went too fast is this fold...

To get the "square", keep the accordion fold in the middle before you continue.

I used small loops of Scotch tape to hold everything together. These hearts are small, but thick, so I placed the whole thing under a heavy book for a couple of days.

Here is the free printable for you (4 per sheet).

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Karen

Leprechaun Envelope Treat Bag

For some St. Patrick's Day fun, I'm going to show you how to make an EASY Leprechaun treat bag out of an envelope!

Seal the flap on a small envelope and then flip it over. Follow my approximate pattern and draw a face and hat on your envelope.

Use colored pencils, markers or crayons to color your picture.

Then cut off the white part on both sides of the hat.

Now you can squeeze your leprechaun and fill him with tissue paper and treats. (I filled mine with gold coins...because that's what you find at the end of a rainbow!)
