Pot of Gold Craft

Supplies:

• Miniature terra cotta pots
• Black gloss enamels paint
• Foam paint brush
• Elmer’s glue
• Gold glitter
• Felt shamrock stickers (optional)
• Newspaper

Directions:

1. Lay an old newspaper out before you get started.

2. Paint each terra-cotta pot black inside and outside and let dry (terra cotta pots dry super quick).

3. Once your terra cotta pot is dry, use a clean paint brush to paint your glue into the rim of the pot, immediately pour glitter into the glue, and shake off any excess glitter.

4. Hot glue one of your shamrock stickers onto the front of the pots to make sure they are secure.
5. Fill each pot with gold wrapped candies like Rolo’s and chocolate coins.

This craft is a fun one for kids and adults alike, and you can modify it based on the age group that you are working with. If you have children of all ages, you could pair older kids with the younger kids for a fun craft that they could enjoy together. I always enjoy combining crafts like this with movies and or books that reflect the holiday and time of year, so I have includes some companion ideas below.

Who will you make this Pot of Gold craft with?
