"But what leprechaun would be without it's pot of gold? So you can see here we have a nice pot of crazy gold going on for our leprechaun costume. Now there are a couple different options you can do with your pot of gold. You see here I have a nice green one, it has a great handle. What's better, it does have gold inside... chocolate gold. You can get a lot of chocolate coins and the like--incredibly cheap, very affordable--at any sort of local candy stores, and they make excellent, excellent things to have in your leprechaun little extra pot of gold. Now don't think that you have to have a gaudy green pot of gold. If you want to go more traditional, you can get your nice little black mini pot, that's fine. You can also look around the house, you might actually be able to find more of a cast iron or other nice dark gray or black pot as well. So it doesn't necessarily have to come down to either or, but I will say, it's very nice to have a handle and light weight. This can be a little heavy after a while, so keep that in mind when you pick whichever one you want. It could you also have it in a corner too and you're not carrying it, lugging it around all night long. But definitely, a pot of gold is an excellent, easy, fun prop to have for your leprechaun costume."
