Saint Patrick's Day Rolo Message



My sister and I were having a conversation the other day.  We were talking about all the cute little crafts they have on Pinterest for the holidays.  We concluded that until God blesses us with children, our dear husbands are going to be the beneficiaries of these adorable gifts. 
Although they are grown men, I think they enjoy the little surprises they receive.  Who wouldn't?!  To me, it would be like getting a letter in the mail...someone took a little time to do something for you.  How can one not like that. :)
I thought this idea was adorable.  Taking a ROLO, you wrap it with a homemade wrapper that says, "You're the pot of gold at the end of my rainbow!"  After completing the little package, I hung it in his car so he will see it in the morning. :)  Hopefully it will put a smile on his face and it will also remind him that he better be wearing green. ;)

THINGS NEEDED:
Rolos
Blank paper/Picture you want to color
Crayons/Markers
Tape
Ziploc
String
Scissors



Carefully remove paper from Rolo package.  Using the printed picture or blank paper, trace the Rolo paper. Cut it out.  


Color and write your message. 


Tape one end.  Tightly wrap paper around candy and tape again.


Using the scissors, cut little holes in the top of the Ziploc and insert string.  As you can see, I put another little picture in too.  Have fun with it and do whatever you would like. 


Here are two ideas where to hang it.  You can put it anywhere.  Hang it in the fridge if he grabs his lunch in the morning, hang it on the main door so he sees it when he is leaving, tape it to the bathroom mirror.... You get the picture.  :)


                                        Hope everyone has a blessed Saint Patrick's Day!!
