Remember five years ago when doing a “St. Patrick’s Day activity” meant drinking green beer and going to a parade? Thanks to Pinterest, now St. Paddy’s has just as many craft and recipe possibilities as Christmas. I mean, now that Valentine’s Day is over and all the Pinterest fanatics had to retire their heart-shaped cookie cutters (which were practically cracking under the pressure), they need something new to focus on!
It’s time to break out the clover cutters obviously. Or tie a few corkscrews together for a DIY clover stamp. DUH!
Pots of gold, rainbows and leprechauns present limitless opportunities for those with craft rooms dedicated to popsicle sticks and washi tape in their homes. And don’t even get me started on the elaborate leprechaun traps. That’s the subject of a whole other post.

Anybody have a cookie cutter shaped like King Achashverosh?
A daycare I used to work at always had “leprechaun” traps and one year the pre-k boy’s toilet had footprints and green water. They LOVED it!
