Steps

Cut the cupcake liner

Ask an adult to help you cut the cupcake liner in half. Then, cut out the half circle from the bottom of the liner. The ruffled part from the sides of the liner will be the rainbow and the half circle will be the pot of gold.

Cut out the gold and paint the pot

Trace some gold on the yellow craft paper and ask an adult to help you cut it out. Then, paint the half circle black to look like a pot.

Cut out the grass and clouds

Draw some grass on the green paper and clouds on the white paper. Ask an adult to help you cut them out and glue them onto the blue paper.

Paint the rainbow

Paint your rainbow starting at the top with the color red and continuing to purple. You will need to paint a thin line of each color to make sure there is enough room for all the colors. Glue your rainbow to your paper and then very carefully paint it. You may want to paint your rainbow first, and then glue it to your paper once it is dry.
