DIY Pot o' Gold

Inspired by: http://www.makeandtakes.com/make-your-own-pot-of-gold




At the hardware store last week, I walked by the paint department and picked up paint chip samples in rainbow colors. I had chenille stems on hand for this project but the idea struck me that perhaps strips of paper paint samples might work:





Need:

-terra cotta pot or wooden pot (for this project I would have preferred to use a smaller pot but JoAnne Fabrics was out of stock of the small sizes and the smallest the hardware store had was 3" diameter.)
-black paint (spray paint; however we used kid-friendly washable paints)
--gold coins or gold foiled covered candies (we bought gold coins at JoAnns on sale 40% off)
-paint sample paper strips (paint chips) <<<---free! or chenille stems in rainbow colors
-(optional) green grass: paper, Easter grass or similar (for instant grass run a piece of green construction paper through a paper shredder)
-cotton balls or quilt batting to make the clouds
-glue
-paper cloud cut out (I cut out a cloud shape from a small paper plate)
-popsicle stick or similar item cut in half (to attach the cloud to)
