Craft Time: Pot o' Gold
V1 Staff |
Named after a 5th-century Romano-British Christian missionary and bishop in Ireland, Saint Patrick’s Day has become a cultural mainstay with plenty of parades, potatoes, and pinching. While little ones cannot partake in the traditional beer and whiskey sampling, they certainly can enjoy a little luck o’ the Irish with these festive pots of gold!
Materials
• Black Craft Paint
• Green Craft Paint
• Gold Paint
• Terracotta pots
• Paint Brushes
• Rolos
Instructions
1. Paint a pot one solid color and allow to dry.
2. Once dry:
a. Leprechaun Hat – Simply paint a black stripe around the lip for the belt. Use the gold paint (we used fabric paint because it’s all we had on hand and it created a raised surface) to make a buckle.
b. Pot o’ Gold – Use the gold paint to embellish. We did a horseshoe, but basic dots, a four-leaf clover, or dollar signs would all be cute.
3. Once everything is dry, fill with Rolos.
