Candy Corn Pots

Cute Candy Corn Pots Tools and Materials:

• Small, new terra-cotta pots
• Pencil
• Acrylic paint in yellow, orange, and white
• Paintbrush
• Paper
• Pen

Candy-Corn Pot How-To:

1. Tuck handfuls of candy corn into giants of their species.
2. Use a pencil to mark stripes on pots.
3. Brush on acrylic paints between lines to make bands, letting each color dry before moving on to the next.
4. When painting the top stripe, go over the lip of pot and paint inside (so it will look good even as it's emptied).
5. Tuck in a note or scary message.

Such an awesome cute idea! Great for kids parties, a nice alternative to the gift “baggy” and can be reused for various things (i.e. pencil holder, etc.)
