A quick and simple little party favor for your guests.

Fill with all kinds of goodies and chocolate coins.

Pot of Gold Party Favors

Materials Used:

I found the little Black Cauldrons* at Dollar Tree with their St. Patrick’s Day display. I knew they would look cute as little pots of gold under rainbows of ribbon. (And don’t forget to get a few extra to save for next Halloween.)

Pot of Gold Party Favors

To personalize the Pots of Gold…

I used StyleTechCraft Green Ultra Metallic Vinyl* and a Silhouette Cameo Die-Cutting Machine* to create the circles and shamrocks.
I used StyleTechCraft Gold Chrome Vinyl* to die-cut the letters spellings the word L-U-C-K_Y.
I placed the circles and letters onto metal-rimmed tags* and tied them onto each cauldron with a 12″ piece of polka grosgrain ribbon in a rainbow of colors. (You can also find shamrock and letter stickers in most craft departments if you don’t want to make your own.)

If you love ribbon, you can find the variety pack of Polka Dot Grosgrain Ribbon Pack by Gwen Studios* at Walmart or Walmart.com.

Pinch Proof for St. Patrick’s Day

Doing A little Pinch Proof Preparedness for St. Patrick’s Day.

GREEN is the color of the day on St. Patrick’s Day…

and, I’ll be the first to admit that I look horrible in green. (It’s just not my color.)

So what do you do when green is not your color and you still want to celebrate?

You get creative and make a simple “Pinch Proof” button so you can wear a little green

and keep those pinches at bay. (It’s kind of like cootie protection when you were a kid.)

To make my Pinch Proof Button I used: (*affiliate link)

Directions:

Cut a 4 1/2″ x 4 1/2″ piece of mat board*.
Cut two 4 1/2″ x 4 1/2″ pieces of green ultra-metallic glitter vinyl. Apply the vinyl onto both sides of the mat board*.
Use the Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine*and 4″ Circle Die to cut the mat board into a circle.
Use the Silhouette Cameo Electronic Die Cutting Machine* and the “Pinch Proof” SVG file to create and size the design to fit onto the circle.
Remove the excess vinyl from around the words using the vinyl tools.
Transfer the words onto the circle using the Clear Transfer Tape*.

Gently rub over the vinyl transfer tape using the squeegee tool to make sure all the image has transferred. Remove the transfer tape.

Adhere 1″ Adhesive Back Bar Pin* to the back of the circle.

Now you’re Pinch Proof and ready to Celebrate.
