St. Patrick's Day Charms

Created these St. Patrick's Day Charms that can be party favors.

Created these St. Patrick's Day Charms by altering cardboard from a cereal box & Sizzix Shamrock die. Hubby liked the Oats, Raisin & Honey Granola cereal. I'm more of a Cheerios (regular kind) or Chex (Corn or Rice) or Corn Flakes or Kix sort of cereal liking gal.

A group that I meet with each month create a project, the owner of the store does a demonstration for us to make a tag and we do swaps. Hostess gets to choose the swap theme which this month is Charms; must have a jump ring.
