Begin by gluing the grass to the bottom of the blue paper.

Place the pot of gold somewhere on the grass and glue it in place.

Take the gold coins and glue them all along the top of the pot of gold.

Take a glue dot and stretch it along the coins, then stick the rainbow-colored pipe cleaners to it.

Wrap the pipe cleaners along the back of the craft or use glue dots or glue to glue down the other side of the rainbow.

Place some glue on the opposite side of the rainbow and glue some cotton balls onto it to look like clouds. If you want, glue more clouds around the sky.
