TBT: St. Patrick’s Day Fun

I saw a great idea on Pinterest last year…green nail polish as St. Patrick’s Day “pinch-proof” gifts! I gave them to my book club members in Wisconsin then, but forgot to blog about it, so when I whipped up a batch this year for teachers and such, I wanted to show them off a bit!

polish-chaosserveddailyI used a retired set of stamps from Stampin’ Up! called Pinch Proof (of course) and simply stamped the labels, punched them out, and attached them with bakers’ twine and washi tape. I was pretty pleased with myself for figuring out a way to use both twine and tape!

If you don’t have a stamp, you could easily create the labels in Word with wordart and clipart, or use a shamrock sticker and write “Pinch Proof.”  These literally took less than fifteen minutes to make 9 of them.
