Using a small flat paintbrush, paint a black stripe around the base of the clay pot. If working with younger kids you can use a strip of black cardstock, craft foam, felt, or even black ribbon.

STEP FIVE

Layer the clay pot onto the saucer, and secure it with a glue gun and glue sticks. Fill with paper shred and gold foil-wrapped candy of choice.
