Leprechaun’s Pot of Gold – Simple Gift

Totally inspired by Weeping Cherries Mason Jar Monday post from THREE years ago (you have got to love Pinterest), I whipped a cute, admittedly less wonderful than Weeping Cherries’, “pot of gold” for my 2.5 year old to receive St. Patrick’s Day morning.

This gift is pretty simple: a mason jar, two pipe cleaners for the handle, glue, a shamrock to decorate the jar, confetti and gold coins to fill the jar, and a small gift buried in the mason jar.

Our son has been enjoying a book called Jack & the Leprechaun, an adorable story about a mouse and his cousin celebrating St. Patricks’s Day by spending the day with family, cooking a feast, singing Danny Boy, collecting shamrocks and, perhaps most importantly, chasing Liam the Leprechaun. So this treasure will appropriately be from “Liam the Leprechaun”.

Enjoy! I hope I have inspired you today!
