Pot-O-Gold Craft
Make a small rainbow and a pot of gold. A great craft for St. Patricks day!

Materials Needed:

  • Paper Plate
  • Toilet Tissue or Paper Towel Roll
  • Glue
  • Paint
Instructions:
Cut down the toilet tissue or paper towel roll so it is about 2 inches high. Paint it black (figure 1).

Cut the paper plate in half. Cut out an arc shape from the outside edge of the paper plate (Figure 2). Make sure the end of the arc can fit into the hole in the painted toilet tissue roll. Paint the arc so it looks like a rainbow (figure 3).

   

Once the paint is all dry. Slide one end of the rainbow into the black toilet tissue roll (figure 4). Glue in place. You now have a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow! For an added touch, put a line of glue around the top edge of the toilet tissue roll and sprinkle on gold glitter or sequins.
