You may or may not know but I absolutely LOVE Halloween. Next to Christmas it is my favorite holiday. Our neighborhood goes all out including a costume contest for the kids before the Trick or Treat festivities begin!
So this year seeing as I am 7 months pregnant I am still totally getting into the Halloween spirit but on a much more toned down level. Especially while chasing around an almost 2 year old! Shew! I thought this would be a great time to add to my decor with a fast easy project! So lets get to it!
MATERIALS:
- Terracotta Pots- Whatever size you desire
- Craft Paints – Yellow, Orange, White
- Paint Brush
- Painters Tape (optional)
Before you get started with all of your colors go ahead and give your pots a good coat of white. The white will help the other colors pop better!
The most important thing to remember about these pots is what candy corn looks like.
From Top to Bottom the colors are – WHITE, ORANGE, YELLOW. And yes I did have to google Candy Corn. I could not for the life of me remember what color order they went in, better safe than sorry I say!
After the white base coat was dry I painted the top portion of my pots white and then moved onto the bottom section painting them yellow and waited for them to dry. Once they were dry I checked for coverage and decided they needed a second coat.
After the White and Yellow were completely dry go ahead and add your orange stripe. Your orange stripe should be slightly larger than your white and yellow stripes. But don’t worry if you break it up into thirds, no one will probably ever notice!
These little pots are perfect for adding to a tablescape, mantel, or in my case they are going to end up on our entertainment center covered in all of my sparkly spiders I made a few years ago!
I am confident anyone can create these pots and the best part of these is that if you chose not to use the painters tape for super crisp lines you get an effect similar to real candy corn. I don’t know about you but these have me craving cooler temperatures and candy!
Just 30 days to go my friends so if you are ready for a countdown for Halloween check out my fun Halloween Countdown printable!
