Pot of Gold Treat Bag

pot of gold treat bags

Years ago, I fell in love with this Pot of Gold craft from Make and Takes and every year when I am brainstorming St. Patrick’s Day crafts, I keep going back to it. Well, I wanted to make some similar pot of gold treat bags for friends and family with materials I could get at our local grocery store. This is what I came up with!! I love the way these turned out – fun, festive, and perfectly themed to St. Patrick’s Day. Thanks to Marie for endless inspiration.

Pot of Gold Treat Bags

  1. Gather your materials. You will need black cupcake liners, clear treat bags, candy in gold wrappers, scissors, and rainbow ribbon.
  2. Pop 2-3 cupcake liners for strength (or snack cups would work great, too!) into the treat bag and fill with gold candy.
  3. Cut your rainbow ribbon, making it sure that you have left plenty of length to tie.
  4. Tie with ribbon to make a rainbow over it! Everyone knows that rainbows always lead to a pot of gold!
  5. Spread some lucky pot of gold treat bags to friends and family. These will surely brighten anyone’s day!
