About This Project

A 30–45 minutes craft for ages 3–7, using supplies you likely already have — Glitter, Scissors, and White Glue.

GlueStick supports kids from setup to cleanup. After they choose a project, we guide them through gathering the supplies, making it, and cleaning up when they're done. We'll even help them share it safely with trusted family and friends.

Ad-free and kid-safe library — designed by a mom who wants kids to explore and create independently.

    Make St. Patrick’s Day Rainbow and Pot of Gold Cupcake Liner Craft

    Your creative buddy says:
    "I can't wait to make a project with you!"

    Step 1: Cut the cupcake liner

    Ask an adult to help you cut the cupcake liner in half. Then, cut out the half circle from the bottom of the liner. The ruffled part from the sides of the liner will be the rainbow and the half circle will be the pot of gold.

    Step 2: Cut out the gold and paint the pot

    Trace some gold on the yellow craft paper and ask an adult to help you cut it out. Then, paint the half circle black to look like a pot.

    Step 3: Cut out the grass and clouds

    Draw some grass on the green paper and clouds on the white paper. Ask an adult to help you cut them out and glue them onto the blue paper.

    Step 4: Paint the rainbow

    Paint your rainbow starting at the top with the color red and continuing to purple. You will need to paint a thin line of each color to make sure there is enough room for all the colors. Glue your rainbow to your paper and then very carefully paint it. You may want to paint your rainbow first, and then glue it to your paper once it is dry.

    Step 5: Glue the gold and pot of gold on and add glitter
