{DIY} Pot of Gold

I'm all about making holidays extra fun for my kiddos. I enjoy giving them something special and with St. Patrick's Day right around the corner, I started thinking of what their something special would be this year.

While I was walking the isles at the dollar store I saw these tiny clay pots that came 3 in pack (perfect!) so the idea came to make them each their own little pot of gold.  I plan on setting these out for them Friday morning.





These were so simple to make, which was good because I did it last week while I was still recovering and a nice easy craft was just what I needed. Anything more complicated than this and I probably wouldn't have had the energy.

Here's what you need:


  • Small clay pot (as I said, I found 3 mini ones at my dollar store. They are probably 3")
  • Black paint
  • Gold glitter
  • Gold chocolate coins (or whatever candy you want to fill it with)

I just painted the entire pot black, let it dry, then used glue around the edge and poured the glitter over. SO EASY! I filled each one with some chocolate coins and done!! I can't wait to see their little faces when they see these Friday.





Do you do anything "extra" for your kids during St. Patrick's Day?
