Pot of Gold Craft Step by Step Instructions
Select colored craft papers, white embossed paper and gold glitter paper for the craft. Also select blue paper or cardstock for the background.
Trace the cloud shapes on white embossed paper, the rainbow patterns on the papers selected for the rainbow, the pot pattern on black and trace the coins on gold glitter paper. Cut out the traced patterns.
Now, glue the rainbow layer cutouts on the blue background paper. Keep the narrow ends of the rainbow layer towards the top and try to keep the rainbow pattern in the middle of the paper.
Position all the rainbow colors one by one nicely.
Next, glue the pot on the background paper. You might need to cut the bottom outer sides of the layers on both sides diagonally to fit the pot’s top end nicely.
Apply glue on both sides and bottom of the pot, but keep the top side open.
Stick the embossed cloud cutout on the top of the rainbow pattern.
Then, glue the gold glittery coins inside the paper pot through its top open end.
Finally, trace and cut out shamrock patterns from green colored paper. Stick the shamrock paper cutouts wherever you’d like, whether on the pot, near the rainbow, or near the cloud.
