Supplies:

• 2″ – 3″ unfinished wooden treasure box
• green, orange, and yellow craft paint

• craft glue
• Darice Painted Wood Rainbow Cutout (We purchased ours at Michael’s.)
• hot glue and hot glue gun

Steps:

1. Paint the wood box and add glitter while the paint is still wet.  Let dry completely.
2. Use craft glue to adhere gemstones and shamrock stickers.  Let dry completely.
3. Use hot glue gun and hot glue to adhere the pre-painted wood rainbow cutout onto the back of the box (facing forward).
4. Prop the box open on St. Patrick’s Day eve with a toothpick and check it in the morning for a Leprechaun!
