Fun little bag made with the Box in A Bag tutorial in the resources section. I did some altering to the bag to make it more squat and not square. I don't normally do St. Patty's day cards/gifts, but I just learned how to make these felt shamrocks, so I had to go there .
And chocolate wrapped in green? I'm already Irish, but now I'm a leprechaun!

I love these handles. I may have to try this out when I get back to my stamp room in a couple of days. What a cute idea for a little Irish treat!I'm on spring Break!!

This is awesome Holly!!! I love your round handle with the brads on it. Your clover is fun, and great job with the belt at the bottom. This will make an adorable gift to one of your Irish friends. :>)

what a wonderful St. Patrick's Day gift! You did such a nice job with the details- the buckle like lower vertical border, the circular bag handle, the felt flower- and the message. TFS!

That big cut-away handle is just great - reminds me of the wooden handles you can buy for making bags. This bag has been on my "try it" list for a long time - thanks for the nudge into actually doing it.
