St. Patrick’s Day Shake

March 6, 2013 By Tonya Staab 2 Comments

Each month I like to bring you a fun, recycled craft project, but with St. Patrick’s Day just around the corner I decided to incorporate a craft project with a recipe.

You see, I love peppermint, and by love, I mean whenever I order ice cream, 9 times out of 10 it will be peppermint flavor.   So when I saw recipes floating around for copycat Shamrock Shakes I couldn’t pass up an opportunity to create my own.   The best part, my kids don’t like peppermint, so I don’t have to share.

Let’s start with the craft project though because you really need to do this before making the mint chocolate shake.

What you need:

  • Straws
  • Card stock – scraps are perfect to use for this
  • Foam heart – even better if you have some left over from Valentine’s Day crafts
  • Small wood block, or old wood stamp that you no longer use
  • Hot glue
  • Green paint – I used Martha Stewart Scottish Highlands
  • Scissors
  • Glue stick

Begin by attaching the foam heart to the wood block with hot glue.   It dries very quickly so set aside for a minute or two while you spread a little green paint onto a paper plate.

Dip the heart stamp you have just made into the paint and create a shamrock shape.   I used the edge of the foam brush I spread the paint onto the plate with to create the little stem.

Using scissors cut around the painted shamrock and attach it with school glue to a paper straw.

Tip: Use larger straws for thick shakes.

Now it’s time to make the mint chocolate shake.
