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