Step 1

First, grab seven lollipop sticks and paint them each a different colour for the rainbow.

Step 2

Secure them together by gluing half of a lollipop stick to the back. Make sure you glue them in a rising pattern, with each stick placed higher than the one before it.

Step 3

Next, take your wooden treasure chest and paint the outside brown.

Step 4

Once the outside is dry, you can paint the inside. Add some gold paint around the rim of the opening.

Step 5

You can also add some light swirling patterns on the outside with the gold paint, to get that wooden texture.

Step 6

Place some scrunched up crepe paper inside the treasure chest, leaving some space in the centre for the rainbow.

Step 7

Place your rainbow lollipop sticks into the centre space and secure with glue.

Step 8

Take your cotton wool and mold into a puffy cloud shape.

Step 9

Glue the cloud to the top of the rainbow lollipop sticks.

Step 10

And you’re done! You now have a lovely little leprechaun’s treasure hoard. You can add some gold glitter to the final piece for an extra bit of sparkle.
