Pot O’ Gold

I started thinking about  March much to long ago.

Hoping that spring would come, I guess.

( We still have not had measurable snow this year.)    

I guess March will be a snow filled month.  But with a little {Luck}it will be warm and toasty inside.

Pin It
So back to my shelf.  I thought a Pot O’ Gold would be a cute addition. 

 I found this Pot at a party store.
(This was not easy to find in the heart of Valentines season.  But they pulled one out for me.)

 Thinking this was to Blah.  I thought a little pizazz was necessary. 

 So out comes the Modge Podge and Glitter.

I stuck my hand in the pot and coated part of the pot in Modge podge.

Then sprinkled on glitter. 

Turn the post and repeat. 

I left the bottom plain so it would sit flat.

I let it dry for a bit and then touched it up with a little MP and glitter where needed.

For the gold I purchased mardi gras coins from the dollar store.
I tried to find just gold coins but they were no where to be found.
 Nothing a little spray paint can’t handle.
To start I traced  the top of the pot o’ gold onto a piece of paper. 
I laid coins on top of the pattern. 

The next layer was E6000 and a layer of coins stacked on top and in a little to make a pyramid type look.
I kept layering glue and coins until I reached the top.

For stability I used a grocery sack in the center to keep the coins from caving in until the glue was hard.
Let it dry over night.
Then next morning, Spray them gold.

I filled my pot with empty plastic sacks and sat eh gold on top.

Voila!

Would make an adorable center piece on a table for your St. Patricks Day Dinner or a Mantle.
