  • Add filler to the bottom of the pot.
  • Put the gold coins on top of the filler, making sure that none of the filler shows.

  • Snip off an appropiate sized piece of the shamrock garland and wrap it around the dowel.
  • Wrap the mesh ribbon around the back of the clay pot to measure how much you need. Then, cut off the piece and glue it to the back of the pot.
