With St. Patrick’s Day around the corner, the McDonald’s Shamrock Shake is the craze right now!!!  I decided to try to make my own, using Peppermint Essential Oil and let me tell you……it was FANTASTIC!!!!!   And I love these cute thick paper straws from Baker’s Party Shop!

It was super easy to make and so festive!   Here are all of my ingredients!!! ingredients
You can make the shake as light or dark green as you would like.   Beware, you may have a green mouth if you go too dark!!!   With the essential oil, I only added 2 drops.   I didn’t want it to  be overwhelming!   You can always add more, depending on how minty you want it!

Worried about getting pinched on St. Patrick’s Day?  This quick and easy felt jewelry can help keep you from getting that unfriendly pinch! Felt Jewelry
Using my Sizzix Eclips2 and a free shamrock template included in the software, I cut different size shamrocks for templates.  Once they were cut, I pinned them to my green felt and then cut them out.   eclips2
Using Tulip Slick Fabric Paint, I drew along the edges of the shamrocks just give it a little something extra!

I knew that I wanted to make a necklace, a hair clip, a broach type pin and some earrings, so I gathered the materials needed for those pieces. pieces
Using a jump ring, I opened it and stuck it through the top of my largest shamrock.   I used pliers to close the jump ring and then threaded the necklace through. necklace
Using hot glue, I attached the alligator clip to the back of one of the middle sized shamrocks. hairbow
