Make a St. Patrick’s Day Rainbow Treat Basket

Do you celebrate St. Patrick’s Day? Isn’t there a saying that everyone is Irish on St. Patrick’s Day? Because I’m always looking for something to celebrate I decided to do something for the luck of the Irish this week!

Nothing says, “Irish” like a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow as well as shamrocks. With that in mind I made this cute St. Patrick’s Day Rainbow Treat Basket during my Make-it-Monday Facebook Live today.

When I first envisioned making this project I thought of making the basket using Basic Black card stock creating a “pot of gold” at the end of the rainbow. But because it’s been pretty dreary here I wanted to use some color and ended up choosing Shaded Spruce card stock for the basket instead.

Paper Cutting Guide:

  • Basket = 6″ x 6″ piece of Shaded Spruce cardstock
  • Scallop Circle Die-Cut = 3″ x 3″ Balmy Blue cardstock
  • Rainbow = scraps of Poppy Parade, Melon Mambo, Petal Pink, Gorgeous Grape, Daffodil Delight and Pacific Point cardstock
  • Shamrock = scrap of Granny Apple Green cardstock
  • Cloud = scrap of Basic White cardstock

I hope you enjoyed today’s project. Don’t forget that you can make this basket for many occasions such as May Day and Mother’s Day.
