Instructions

Thoroughly wash and dry small baby food jar and lid. Mix 4 tablespoons of white craft glue with enough water to bring it to painting consistency. 

Have children cut tissue paper into squares. Starting with small sections, apply glue mixture with paint brush or sponge applicator to jar. Stick tissue paper onto glue mixture and continue all the way around the jar. Apply glue mixture over the top of tissue paper layer. Apply a second layer of tissue paper, allow to dry completely.

While jar is drying, apply glue around the outer edge of the jar lid. Adhere the ribbon around the lid lip and tie in a knot. Curl the ribbon by sliding the flat edge of the blade from a pair of scissors along the ribbon. Glue pom poms to the top of the lid and allow to dry.

When jar and lid are completely dry, fill jar with colored candies and give to the lucky recipient! Attach a cute note such as "Kiss me. I'm Irish!" or "A Lucky Pot of Gold for You!".

Instructions:

Have child place hand, palm side down, on the dark green construction paper and trace for a hand pattern. Repeat two more times to make three hand patterns.

Instructions:

Rainbow
Using a saw, cut oval in half to form two rainbow shapes. You can make two magnets if you have double the other materials. Sand rainbow shape to smooth cut edge. Drill 4 small holes evenly spaced in each end of the rainbow. Paint rainbow as shown in photo. Be sure to paint the edges around the rainbow.

Cut 8 - 4 1/2 - inch lengths of green ribbon. Knot a green bead at one end of each ribbon. String the remaining beads on ribbon as shown in photo. Thread beaded ribbon through a hole in the end of the rainbow. Glue the end of the ribbon to the back. Trim excess ribbon on back. Repeat with remaining beaded ribbons.

Pot of gold
Paint candle cup black. Let dry. Glue gold seed beads all over top of candle cup to look like gold. Glue pot of gold to right side of rainbow.

Clover
Cut a clover from fun foam or felt. Glue to left side of rainbow.

Finishing
Glue magnet to back of rainbow 

pinking shears (or other decorative scissors)
small material scrap in stripes or other pattern of your choice
2 gold buttons, any shape
cotton batting (Fiberfil)
white craft glue (Tacky glue)
gold craft wire
pencil
shiny green ribbon
shiny gold ribbon

What you do:

Lay brown paper bag on flat work surface. Cut out two large sections from the front and back of the bag. Stack those sections, one on top of the other, then fold them in half. Draw a shamrock, then cut it out with the pinking shears. Or you can use this as a pattern.

Beginning at the bottom of the shamrock, use tacky glue to connect the two layers at the seams, stuffing the shamrock as you go with cotton batting (Fiberfil). Work your way around the edges, carefully stuffing (but not too much!) until shamrock is completely closed. Note: there is not enough room in the shamrock stem, simply glue this together.

When the glue is dry, paint the edges of the shamrock with antique gold paint. When that dries, paint the shamrock green as shown in photo. When the green paint is dry, dip the bristle tips of a toothbrush into the antique gold paint. Test your flecking ability on a piece of scrap paper before doing this on your heart. Hold toothbrush horizontally and drag your thumb across the bristles, causing the paint to fleck spots wherever you aim it. When you are comfortable with this method, go ahead and fleck gold paint across the shamrock to look like gold dust.

When gold paint is dry, use the black finetip marker to write "It's Your Lucky Day!", placing decorative dots at the point of each letter. Draw small double stitch lines around the shamrock approximately 2 or 3 inches apart (see large photo). Use pinking shears to cut out a square from the striped scrap material. Use white glue to adhere the material to the lower right hand corner of your brown bag shamrock. Use white glue to adhere a small gold button to the material scrap. Tie a bow in a piece of shiny gold ribbon, glue it the base of the stem.

Cut a piece of gold craft wire long enough to wrap completely around your shamrock. This should be enough for your hanger. Find the middle of craft wire, wrap the middle section of the wire around a pencil about 6 or 7 times. Pull the pencil out to create the curl at the top of your hanger. Curve the wire into a hanger shape and poke each end carefully through the sides of the shamrock as shown in the photo. Use the skinny end of a small paintbrush to curl the ends of the wire that you poked through.

Using shiny green ribbon, tie a knot onto the craft wire halfway down from where the top curls begin. String both ends of the ribbon through the back of the button, then tie a bow. If your button is flat, tie ribbon in a bow, then use a hot glue gun to glue the second gold button to the center of the bow. Spray the entire shamrock with a coat of acrylic sealant.

Note: It is not necessary to paint the back of the heart, though you may if you like. 

Ask the one who hid the jar to call out when ready.
The one who discovers it first should call out with, say, "EUREKA !"
Now it's your time to go for the treasure hunt.
Ask your friends to spread into different parts either in single, or in pair, or, in small batches. 
Look up every nook and corner, crawl under the coaches, dining table, behind the kitchen closet,
under the sink, behind the potted plant in the hall way. 
And everywhere else you think a possible hiding place. 
Now, see which one of you calls out first.
Allow the discoverer to start with the snack. The rest will join later.
