St.Patrick’s Day Treats – Bucket o’ Gold Candy

Growing up in Hawai’i, we didn’t really celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. It wasn’t a big deal like it is in some places on the Mainland.
And I’ve never really celebrated it with my kids. But this year, I plan on surprising them (mama’s gotta get a surprise in when she can!)
I found these cute little green buckets.
Grabbed the label punch and a small heart punch,
and whipped up some cute tags.
In about 10 minutes (6 of those minutes spent collecting the supplies from around the house) I created a little leprechaun magic by making a Bucket o’ Gold Candy.
With a little luck (I need luck to outsmart 3 observant kids!) I’m looking forward to a St. Patrick’s Day morning surprise at my house.
I’m a mom of 3, a veteran and military spouse. I’ve moved into 20+ homes all around the world. My passion is helping busy people make the space and time for what’s really important to them.
Very cute idea! Where did you find the buckets?
Thanks, Sylvia. Found them new with tags at local thrift shop. I went back 2 days later to buy more and they were all gone (at least 30 of them!)
Very cute idea. I love to surprise my kids too. Please consider linking this up at my weekend link party @ The Patriotic Pam. Hope to see you there.

Susan this is adorable! I have a similar heart punch and it never occurred to me to use it to make shamrocks. Thanks for the inspiration.
