Pot of Gold Shamrock Bouquet

By Noreen 20 Comments




By Noreen Doll.

Make a festive Pot of Gold Shamrock Bouquet to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day.

Pot of Gold Shamrock Bouquet by Crafty Journal

I used a recycled can, but you could use a flower pot or small glass jar instead.

I used Rolos candies for the gold because we have a nut allergy in the family, but you can use any gold wrapped candy.

Supplies.

Recycled Can

9 Inch Square of Black Felt

Green Craft Foam – I used 2 different shades of green.

Green Sparkle Shamrock Stickers

Ribbon – green and gold

Scrap Styrofoam  – a black styrofoam tray that vegetables came in.

Skewers

How to Make a Pot of Gold Shamrock Bouquet.

1. Use a clean empty can. Draw around the bottom of the can on the styrofoam.

Cut out the circles. I made 3 because they were so thin. Or cut a chunk of recycled styrofoam to fit.

2. Put the styrofoam circles in the can.

3. Put 3 or more strips of double sided tape around the outside of the can – one near the top, one in the middle, and one near the bottom.

4. Set the can in the center of the felt and bring the felt up around the sides of the can.

Press the felt into the tape.

5. Tie a gold ribbon around the felt and the can.

Tuck the top edge of the felt into the can.

Make the Shamrock Flowers.

1. Cut the skewers into 2 or 3 pieces, making them different lengths so they will be varying heights in the can.

2. Make a shamrock pattern, or use a shamrock you already have for a pattern.

Trace the pattern onto the craft foam, making 3 to 5 shamrocks in 2 or more shades of green.

Cut them out.

3. Put double sided tape on the bottom of a Rolo and press it firmly in the center of one of the shamrocks.

4. On the back of the shamrock, place the end of a skewer piece.

Use duct tape to attach the skewer to the craft foam shamrock.

5. If you are using shamrock stickers, remove the backing from two of the stickers and stick them back to back, sandwiching the end of a skewer between them.

Use buttons or smaller shamrocks to decorate some of the shamrock flowers.

6. Tie bows on one or more of the skewers, just below the shamrock flower.

7. Arrange the shamrock flowers in the can, pressing them down into the styrofoam.

8. Add Rolos around the base of the skewers in the can until it’s full.

Tips

Instead of wrapping the can with felt, it could be painted black… or gold.

Or wrap the can in black paper.

Hot glue can be used to secure the felt to the can instead of double sided tape.

I used a button in the center of one of the shamrocks to give it a different look.

Here’s a link to an easy way to make a shamrock pattern, in case you want to make your own.

    I am hosting our neighborhood Bunco on March 11th and doing a St. Patrick’s day theme, this will look so cute as a center piece on each of the tables and will double as a fun prize for each of the girls to take home!
