DIY Pot of Gold

 


I made these pots of gold for my children and nieces this St. Patrick's Day. It was really fun, and everyone enjoyed their special gift! Here's what you will need to make yours.

Supplies:
  • Apple sauce container
  • Black acrylic paint
  • Acrylic paint sealer
  • Black pipe cleaner
  • Chocolate gold coins
  • Rainbow pattern -- the one I used is available at: What Mommy Does
  • Shamrock -- I crocheted one using a free pattern available at: Golden Lucy Crafts

Directions:

Wash and dry the apple sauce container. Paint the interior, and allow it to dry. Once it has dried, apply two coasts of sealer and dry. Punch two holes in the side of the container. Insert the pipe cleaner into each hole, and twist it to secure. Fill it with chocolate gold coins, a rainbow, and a shamrock! Happy St. Patrick's Day!
