| A simple pot of gold, a few shamrocks and a rainbow made from a paper plate are all you need to craft this playful little St. Patrick's Day Mobile. |
Craft and Hang a Mobile of a Rainbow, Shamrocks and a Lucky Pot of Gold!
Students can craft this lucky pot of gold from just a few simple paper supplies: gold foil cupcake liners, scissors, white glue, magic markers and black and green construction paper.
- Cut a simple pot from black construction paper and glue inside the gold foil cup cake liner to illustrate your pot of gold.
- Cut out bunches of shamrocks to string along the side the pot of gold from bright green paper.
- Then each student will need a paper plate to cut in half so that they may color in the shape of a rainbow twice.
- After threading the shamrocks and pot of gold, glue these threads on the inside half of one paper plate so that the threads will hang between the rainbow shapes.
- Glue the decorated paper plates back to back so that the mobiles may be viewed from both sides.
Weave a Giant Shamrock to Hang From The Ceiling!
I cut giant green shamrocks from painted green papers for the woven mobile pictured below. I then chose plain stripes of pale green construction paper for the paper streamers. Although, teachers or students may wish to weave their shamrocks alternatively with crepe paper streamers. Glue together the unpainted sides of your green shamrocks so that these mobiles may be viewed from either side if you should chose to hang them in the center of the classroom. I have linked to a video here that demonstrates this basic weaving procedure.
