Instructions:
Voila, a pot of gold!
- Prep the area you are going to be working at with newspaper.
- Squeeze some of the paint on to a paper plate or into a disposable cup.
- Using a sponge paint brush, paint the entire terra cotta pot with acrylic paint. Let dry completely. You may need a couple of coats of paint for a completely opaque look.
- Cover the pot with stickers being sure to leave about a 1-1.5" allowance from the top of the pot for the ribbon.
- Measure the ribbon around the outer rim of the pot and cut to size. Glue around the rim. Create a bow with the remaining ribbon and glue it to the ribbon on the pot, where the seams meet.
- Add the paper fill to the pot and fill with gold candies.
Voila, a pot of gold!
