Do you have a lucky penny? Let's make one! These are perfect for St. Patrick's Day. 

Supplies:
• 4 Leaf Clover Confetti (I have a clover hole puncher but someone must sell this confetti right?)
• Glue Stick
• Pennies
• Diamond Glaze

Shine your pennies if you like, this is optional but I tell you how later. Glue a clover to a penny using a glue stick like the photo below. If your confetti is that thick plastic then there is no need to glue it. Just place it on the penny.

Using the Diamond Glaze put a layer of glaze over the clover and cover the entire face of the penny as well. And let dry, drying takes a few hours. No photo of me applying the glaze so just imagine! The glaze comes out a bit white but will dry clear.

Now you have a lucky penny with a permanent 4 leaf clover! Make lots and attach them to the free card below using double stick tape, a dab of glue from a glue gun or glue dots. Pass them out to your friends and enjoy!

Click HERE or on the image below to download the free tags. Then use a 2-inch hole puncher to punch them out. You can also cut them into squares if you do not have a large hole puncher.

To shine pennies pour some vinegar and salt into a bowl, add pennies to this mixture and let sit for just a few minutes. Next rub your pennies with some baking soda, rinse and they are done. As you can see in the photo below, the pennies on the right are the ones that I shined. They looked just like the ones on the left before I shined them.

I'd love to hear if you make these. So don't be shy, let me know!

Here are a couple of projects we are doing this year for St. Patrick's Day for my sons class.

Taste a Rainbow Cupcakes via Family Fun magazine. On March 16th we are going to attempt the cupcakes pictured below. Click here for the how-to. We will post our photos if it's a success.

Lucky Penny's - These are simple and inexpensive! First visit Pumpkin Petunia and download the free lucky penny template. Don't forget to say thanks! Print them, cut them and put your pennies on with double stick tape. See tips below for cleaning pennies. How great do they look?! Right? What do you have planed for your St. Patrick's day?

How we cleaned our pennies. Place enough vinegar in a bowl to cover the bottom of the bowl. Add 1 teaspoon salt. Place a few pennies in and make sure they are not overlapping. As soon as they look clean pull them out! We made the mistake of leaving them in longer thinking they would get cleaner, but they did not, they actually turned back to how they started.

We will be back tomorrow to announce the winner of our Singing Sweet Songs giveaway! Be sure to enter here if you haven't!
