Pots Of Gold (chocolate that is!)

Still haven't felt up to making anything, so it's another day for a repeat. Check out these cute little decorated terra cotta pots for St. Patrick's Day, originally posted 3/16.

I saw these cute little painted flower pots on Pinterest and thought they are so cute I have to make some for our St. Patrick's Day dinner party.

To make these you'll need mini terra-cotta flower pots (found at a dollar store) - you can make them bigger of course but I like the small ones for some of the table decorations; craft paint in green, white, and gold; thin black ribbon; gold glittery cardstock; adhesive.





I made two different styles - one is painted all green with a thin black ribbon tied around it for a belt, cut out belt buckles (squares with the center removed) from shiny cardstock and glued on top of the ribbon.



The other style is painted white with a gold rim around the top. Then glue on shamrocks cut out of shiny gold cardstock or make these cute tags if you are having friends over - the pots of gold can then be sent home with your guests as little gifts.

I'm going to fill them with little gold wrapped chocolate candies so they look like pots of gold and set one at everyone place setting.
