Gold Nuggets of Wisdom - Graduation Gift

Everyone loves those Youmans' girls.

 

Recently, when Miss Rockstar Athlete and girl-next-door beauty, Aby Youmans, graduated from high school, I had the honor of attending her graduation party.

 

(Begin Harlem Shake music intro!) 

Instead of giving her a stack of cash, I found a more creative idea on Pinterest! 

Where else?

 

 

 

It's pretty easy - here is the side view ...

(Pay no attention to the chipped red nail polish on the thumb nail.) 



 

 I used:

1 bag of Hershey's Nuggets

1 empty strawberry container

Ribbon

Dollar bills

Handmade inspirational quotes gift tag

 

Method:

Fold dollar bills into thirds lengthwise, then in thirds again to make short enough to wrap around the nuggets. secure with tape.

 

Pack your dollar bill wrapped nuggets into the container snugly and close lid. 

 

Tie with a fun, grosgrain ribbon. 

 

Add a few inspirational quotes.

 

Here is what my tag included:
