You need:

● Rainbow colored paint

● A piece of cardstock

● Cling wrap

● Popsicle stick to spread the paint

● Cotton balls and gluestick

● Yellow and black paper for pot and coins

To make:

● Lay out a piece of white cardstock, and place a dot of paint vertically on the left side in the order of the rainbow,

● Lay a cling wrap over the top of your cardstock, and wipe the paint in a rainbow arch using a popsicle stick. This effect is best used if you complete it in one motion, so students will probably need to go slowly.

● Remove the cling wrap carefully, and use glue to add cotton balls to the rainbow’s end.

● Make a black pot of gold from the black paper and yellow coins from the yellow paper. The pot can go to the bottom of the rainbow, and coins can be placed inside the pot.

● The student or the teacher can personalize these rainbows by adding student names to the pot or the phrase “You are the gold at the end of my rainbow”.

This bright and creative craft is a great St. Patrick’s Day gift for someone special.
