Easy Leprechaun Hat Decor

Step 1 – Prepare Your Workspace and Paint the Pots

laying out newspaper scraps before getting started

Lay out an old newspaper or a piece of scrap paper before you get started.

St. Patrick’s Day craft in progress – painting the pot for a fun DIY Leprechaun Hat from fleecefun

Paint each pot green and let dry (terra cotta pots dry super quick). Paint second coat if needed (I only needed one)

Step 2 – Add Glitter to the Rim

adding glue to the rim of the pots

Turn your pots upside down and draw a small line of glue all the way around above the rim of your pots and use the side of your foam paint brush to spread it evenly making about 1/4″ inch of glue.
