Step 1

Spread glue over a ceramic pot with a foam brush and sprinkle with Gold glitter. Set aside to dry.

Step 2

Cut small squares of green construction paper to size desired to make hearts. Fold in half and draw a half of a heart on the fold. Cut out.
TIP: One clover will need three similar sized hearts.

Step 3

Glue them together at the bottom point of the hearts.

Step 4

Repeat Steps 2-3 for as many clovers as you would like in your Gold pot.

Step 5

Accent the clovers by adding some white paint and glitter.

Step 6

Make a small curl on one end of a chenille pipe cleaner and bend to make a flat surface. Glue a clover to the flat surface and let dry. Repeat for each clover.
TIP: ADULT: Instead of waiting for the glue to dry, add a dab of hot glue to the chenille stem and attach the clover for the child for a much faster drying process.

Step 7

Finally, make large coils at the bottom of each stem and place them in the dry glittered pot.
