I came up with these mini pots of gold using the Everyday Jars Framelits and the Simply Scored Scoring Tool.
The base of the mini pot of gold treat holder is an open-topped box made with the Simply Scored Scoring Tool. The base measures 3-3/8" square and is scored on all four sides at 1".
The sides are made from the smallest jar in the Everyday Jars Framelit set. I cut off the top two threads where the lid goes to make it look more like a cauldron lip and adhered one jar to each of the four sides of the box.
The shamrock comprises of four Garden Green hearts punched from the Cookie Cutter Builder Punch. The stem is a free-formed sliver of Garden Green cardstock.
The mini pots of gold are filled with Rolos. This sweet plant holder was my great grandmother's. The leprechaun looks like he is about to steal the mini pot of gold! Cute!
I made three variations - one plain pot of gold, one with a rainbow, and one with cute leprechaun legs sticking out.
The rainbow features the Brights Color Collection and the Rainbow Builder Framelits. I adhered each stripe of the rainbow onto Whisper White cardstock. Once the rainbow was dry, I cut it in half.
The rainbow is attached to a piece of Basic Black cardstock and then adhered to the center of the pot of gold, so it appears to be floating.
This is my favorite pot of gold variation! Check out the leprechaun legs with striped pants! How adorable! I freehand drew the shoes and pants.
The legs are scored at the ends to make a tab to glue into the center of the pot of gold.
I hope you give these St. Patrick's Day mini pots of a gold a try! How would you decorate your mini pot of gold? I would love to see what you create!
Thanks for stopping by!
