10+ Pot of Gold Coloring Pages for St. Patrick’s Day
Coloring page of a cauldron with gold coins bursting out and floating in the air
St. Patrick’s Day is just around the corner, and I’ve been obsessed with the “luck of the Irish” vibe lately. There’s something so satisfying about filling a page with bright yellows and deep greens. If you’re looking for the perfect pot of gold coloring page, you’re in the right spot. I’ve put together a collection that ranges from simple outlines for the little ones to more detailed scenes for those of us who take our shading seriously.

This is the heart of the collection. Whether you want a stout iron pot overflowing with coins or a magical scene featuring the end of the rainbow, just click, print, and start coloring.
Minimalist Gold Pots for Quick Sessions
Sometimes you just want to focus on that metallic sheen. These pages feature bold lines and large coin surfaces, perfect for practicing your gold-gradient techniques using alcohol markers or gel pens.
Intricate Irish Folklore Scenes
For those who love a challenge, these pages include Celtic knots, tiny clovers, and hidden Leprechaun tracks. It’s not just a pot of gold coloring page; it’s a full immersion into Irish myth.
Mastering the Glow at the End of the Rainbow
The trickiest part of any St. Paddy’s piece is making the gold look like it’s actually glowing. When you reach the end of the rainbow, don’t just reach for one yellow crayon.
- Layering Technique: Start with a light lemon yellow in the center of the coin pile.
- Depth with Oranges: Use a burnt orange or raw sienna for the shadows between the coins.
- The “Sparkle” Factor: Leave tiny white specs uncolored on the top edges of the gold to mimic sunlight hitting the metal.
Creative DIY Crafts Using Your Colored Pages
Don’t just let your finished pot of gold coloring page sit in a folder! I love turning my colored pieces into actual decorations for the house.
Lucky Window Clings
Color your pot with heavy wax crayons, cut it out, and lightly coat the back with vegetable oil using a cotton ball. It becomes translucent and looks like stained glass when taped to a sunny window.
St. Paddy’s Gift Tags
Scale down the print size to 25%. Once you’ve finished coloring the end of the rainbow, punch a hole in the corner and tie it onto a jar of gold-wrapped chocolates.
3D Paper Pots
Cut out two identical pots of gold you’ve colored, staple the edges (leaving the top open), and stuff with tissue paper for a pop-up effect on a bulletin board.
Choosing the Best Tools for Your Pot of Gold
To make your pot of gold coloring page truly stand out, your medium matters. Since we’re dealing with rainbows and metallic themes, I recommend a mix-and-match approach.
- Glitter Pens: These are a “must” for the coins. A quick dot of gold glitter ink makes the whole page feel magical.
- Watercolor Pencils: Great for the end of the rainbow because you can blend the colors seamlessly with a damp brush, avoiding those harsh lines between red, orange, and yellow.
- Cotton Swabs: Use them to smudge your pencil strokes for a misty, ethereal look around the base of the rainbow.
