If you want to celebrate St Patrick’s Day, you can do it with the help of something that is related to it and to the Irish traditions. Rainbows, clovers with four leaves, pots of gold and leprechauns are just some of the things which can help you celebrate this day. One of the ways you can celebrate it with kids is to create a pot of gold, which you can use as decoration in your house.
The first step would be to purchase a normal cardboard box, which is available in any craft store. There are all kinds of sizes available, so pick one depending on how big you want your pot of gold to be.
The box should be painted green on the exterior, but you can also pick another color if you have a different idea on how it should look. Once the paint on the box is dry, you can continue with the next step.
You should use a pen with glitter glue and write on the box Pot of Gold. Write the words carefully, so the letters don’t come out smudged. When you write the letters the hand should be kept lifted.
In order to make a clover with four leaves to symbolize the Irish symbol, you can place four drops of glue in a group, with green glitter sprinkled on it. You can paint all kinds of designs on the box, like a rainbow or anything else you want. You can se glitter and glue for your designs.
In order to make the pot of gold sparkle a bit more, you can use rhinestones which are glued on it. You can create a very nice pot of gold by using your imagination and whatever materials you have at your disposal.
Once the pot of gold is ready, you can fill it with the treasures. Chocolate gold coins are a very good choice.
