Quick & Easy St. Patrick's Day Idea

St. Patrick's Day is just around the corner and to be honest, I don't do a whole lot for the holiday but I had an idea.  I thought it would be cute, so I did it!

I came across these little plastic tubes that had been languishing in a drawer for several years.  After picking up some Skittles, the project was underway...
I started by sorting the Skittles by color.  It brought back fond memories of my teaching days.  Does anyone else remember sorting activities?
After sorting, I added them to the tubes to form a rainbow of colors.  Sorry, forgot that pic!
I made a couple of tags from scrapbook paper and stamps.
They were attached to the tubes with Baker's Twine and the project was complete!
I did make a change to one of the tubes - A space was left at the top and a few mini marshmallows were added to act as clouds.  Here's a side view to see them:
  
Before you say, "That's cute, Ann, but I don't have those plastic tubes" - I have the solution.  You probably have an empty jar.  The one that basil pesto comes in would be the perfect size.  
 
I did find these tubes that would also work great for this project -if your heart is set on the little tubes.  

These make the perfect gift for friends, a class party, colleagues, you get the idea! 

How's that for a quick and easy St. Patrick's Day project?

    1. Yes, shamrocks do have 3 leaves, but this is a 4-leaf clover. The 4th leaf brings good luck!

  3. That's a great idea! And, yes, I remember doing lots of sorting activities with students when I was teaching. It was lots of fun. I don't do a lot for St. Patrick's day, either, but your ideas are very inspiring.

  5. This is so cute. I don't do anything for St. Patrick's Day but I DO have two nieces and a nephew and it's always fun to do something holiday related with them. I think they'd love these.
