This was so easy to make and cost practically nothing!
I needed to create an ice breaker type activity and I wanted it to have a St. Patrick's Day theme. My thought was to create a pot of gold filled with golden nuggets. I wanted to attach a little ice-breaker question to each golden nugget. The plan was to have each person choose a golden nugget, read the question aloud, and answer it so we could get to know each person a little better.
So, I headed to The Dollar Tree and I found a kettle shaped glass bowl, a sheet of moss, a roll of green glitzy ribbon, a bag of glittery shamrocks & gold coins, and a bag of river rocks. So, I'm in to this for $5 + tax.
I already had black, yellow, and gold tole paint at home, and some sticky-backed jewels.
Earlier in the week, I had already painted a little glass bowl green and flipped it upside down to create a little leprechaun hat.
I embellished it with a hatband made out of black cardstock, golden fun foam, and sticky-back green pearls, so I knew that I could create a pot of gold with a little paint and some rocks.
First I painted the outside of the glass bowl black.
Then, I painted the black river rocks yellow. It took 2 coats to cover the black, so you might want to get light colored stones.
After the last coat dried, I added a top coat of metallic gold paint.
I printed up some ice-breaker questions, but first I rewrote them so they all related to St. Patrick's Day in some way.
I cut the questions apart into strips and folded them up so they were about 3/4" square. I used glue dots to stick them to the back of each golden nugget, but you can use white glue, Tacky glue, or even hot glue.
I placed the black pot on the sheet of moss and filled it with the golden nuggets. I also placed some nuggets around the pot. I tied some ribbon to the pot and sprinkled the centerpiece with the glittery shamrocks and glittery golden coins & any other St. Patrick's Day decorations I had in the house. Let me know if you have any questions. :)
