Here's a fun way to capture a little luck this St. Patrick's Day. Turn a set of small glass jars into mini leprechaun and gold filled terrariums! I filled a set of jars with green candies, rainbow lollipops, and shimmering shamrocks to create mini St. Patrick's Day scenes. These terrariums are the perfectly festive decor for your home or a party, like our elegant St. Patrick's Day dinner. You can change up the contents of the jars for different holidays throughout the year.

Have fun varying up the little scenes in each jar. This jar used the leprechaun lollipops (or shamrock lollipops) a rainbow lollipop, and a couple shimmering shamrocks.
