One minute DIY projects - the Leprechaun pot

Here's a cool idea for your child to make some $$$ on St. Patrick's Day this year! Get your DIY trousers on and make a Leprechaun Pot with your child to hang for St. Patrick's Day. So when the Leprechaun comes round *HINT HINT* your child will end up with some chocolate gold coins or real coins in the pot on St. Patrick's Day morning!


Things you will need:
1 Felt Sheet, brown or black
1 Felt Sheet, green
Scissors
Pencil
3 Pipe Cleaners of different colors, 12 inch length
Craft Glue
Hole Puncher


Step by step:
1) Take a sheet of brown/black felt and fold in half lengthwise.
2) Draw a shape of a pot onto the felt half. (Helpful Hint: Use a lid or bowl as a guide for the circular shape.)
3) Cut the pot shape out of both halves of felt.
4) Line-up the two felt shapes on top of each other.
5) Punch a hole at each corner of the pot through both felt shapes, about 1/2 inch from top.
6) Braid the three pipe cleaners together.
7) Insert the pipe cleaner braid through both sets of holes and wrap each end around itself, creating a handle.
8) Glue the two felts together around the outside edge of the pot, except at the top portion between the handle.
9) Cut a four-leaf clover out of the green felt and glue onto the front of the pot. If you need a four-leaf clover pattern, see the Four-Leaf Clover at www.OneMinuteCrafts.com/PaperFourLeafClover.html.
