Everytime you see a rainbow, ever wonder where it start’s or where it ends? We have all heard of the St. Patrick’s day “pot of gold” story as kids and ever wonder the legendary store originated from?
The tale originated in Old Europe, in which the Irish people believed at the end of every rainbow, fairies put a pot of gold and how the leprechauns guarded it for safekeeping. This folklore tale of the Irish has become to be known as St. Patrick’s Day on March 17th, where many celebrate this holiday in Ireland and around the world by wearing “green” that day.
We found this St. Patrick’s day pot of gold candy craft and were excited to be able to share it with everyone. You can be someone’s “Pot of Gold” with this cute project for St. Patty’s Day.
Things you will need to create the pot of gold:
- Rolo’s or Chocolate Gold Coins
- Cellophane Bags
- Multi-colored M&M’s / Skittles / Jelly Beans / Gumballs
- Twist Ties
Open the cellophane bags, place 4 rolo’s or gold coins in the bottom of the bag and add layers of multi-colored candy of your choice (M&M’s, Skittles, Jelly Beans, Gumballs, etc…). Close the cellophane bag with a twist tie and add an optional banner tag of your choice with a custom message or saying to give to that someone special in your life.
