A decoration for your desk is a celebration of St. Patrick’s Day. A rock, ribbon, gold coin, a shamrock and a handmade scroll makes a “green” paper weight that lets you kiss the Blarney Stone everyday. According to legend, the kissing of the Blarney Stone brings the gift of persuasive eloquence.
MATERIALS NEEDED
- A foil gold coin (I had a gold foil cover from a chocolate candy)
- A rock
- 3 leaf paper clover
- An Irish saying written on paper, rolled up like a scroll
- Hot glue gun
- Scissors
- Green twine
- Green pipe cleaner (oversized)
HERE’S HOW
- Tie twine around rock, tie a bow at top
- Glue green pipe cleaner to have a long tail to house Irish paper saying (scroll)
The Saying: “May your blessings out number the Shamrocks that grow. And may trouble avoid you wherever you go.” - Curl the end of pipe cleaner so your scroll will slip in
- Glue your coin at the top with 3 leaf clover
