This seriously takes five seconds to make. And, you can make it as easy or as complicated as you want.I just used an old vase and cut out letters on my Cricut. I glued the letters on with a hot glue gun. (For some reason, I thought they'd easily come off later if I used a glue gun. They don't. Guess it'll always be a Luck vase.) Then I glued punched shamrocks on the sides, put a ribbon at the top, and cut pieces of green paper. Everything I used, I already had. You could also have just as much fun using pieces of white paper and skip the shamrocks, ribbon, and letters.
Every night, I make I mean ask Mitch to write down something that makes him lucky. I do it too. We use the phrase, "I'm/We're lucky because..." and then write how we'd finish the sentence on a green paper. Then we stick them in the Luck jar. We've also been having our guests write luck notes. (Guests use a different color of paper.) We're going to read them all on the 30th of March.
Fun, huh! I saw a similar idea around Thanksgiving time (instead of lucky, it was grateful) so I just changed it a bit to make it St. Patrick's Day-ish.
Want another fun idea? For my monthly craft night, I baked brownies in ramekins and put mint Oreo ice cream on top with chocolate syrup. It's easy to do and it's green for March!

That's so great that you're going green this month. Going green is so popular these days.
