To celebrate the Luck of the Irish, we’ve got 10 fun St. Patrick’s Day crafts to make with your kids! Check out our easy instructions below for a 3-D Rainbow, Pot of Gold paper chain, Leprechaun Mask, and more. Enjoy!!

1. 3-D Rainbow

Supplies:

  • Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, black, and white construction paper
  • Pencil
  • Scissors
  • Tape or Glue

Directions:

  1. To make the rainbow, cut long strips of paper about ¾ of an inch thick. Arrange the strips in rainbow order and tape them down on an angle on the left side of a sheet of paper.
  2. Sketch a pot on the black paper and cut it out. Tape it down over the rainbow strips.
  3. Take the loose edges of the strips and form the arc of a rainbow. Tape them down on the right side of your paper. Continue with the remaining strips until the rainbow is complete.
  4. Sketch a fluffy cloud on the white paper and cut it out. Tape it over the end of the rainbow.
  5. If you want “gold” in your pot, add pennies or glitter to your pot!

2. Pot of Gold Chain

Supplies:

  • Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and black construction paper
  • Stapler
  • Scissors
  • Glitter glue

Directions:

  1. Cut strips that are about 11” long and 1” thick from your rainbow-colored sheets of paper.
  2. Form a ring with your red strip and staple the edges together. Then string your orange strip through the center of the red ring and staple it. Continue until you’ve completed the rainbow.
  3. Cut a pot out of the black construction paper. Then use yellow construction paper to add “gold” to the pot. Feel free to add glitter to make your gold shine!
  4. Cut a strip of black paper to serve as the handle of your pot of gold. String it through the purple ring and tape both edges down on the back of the pot.
  5. Hang your pot of gold at the end of the rainbow!
