I decided to create an inexpensive St Patrick's Day Pot of Gold at the end of the Rainbow for Peyton's teacher this year. This DIY Rainbow themed gift was simple to make. I purchased a large bag of skittles and separated them by color. Then I added some Chocolate Gold Coins to the bottom of the jar (rolo's would work too) and layered the skittles by color.
For the topper I actually used a paper cupcake liner! I love using cupcake liners with Mason Jars or Jelly Jars because it fits perfect with the small canning ring. I added a scrap of ribbon to the ring for the added touch! I think this would make a great birthday party treat too!
