It is so hard for me to believe that it is just a few days before Halloween.
Where did my October go!
This pack of really cute Halloween napkins gave me the idea for today’s post.
I usually decoupage on pumpkins in the fall, and love to decoupage on peat pots at Easter, but this year I decided to paint and decorate peat pots for Halloween.
For this project you will need peat pots, black craft paint, a sponge brush, Mod Podge, scissors, and some Halloween napkins.
My first step was to paint the pots black, I did paint the inside as well. They are easy to paint using a sponge brush.
While the pots were drying, I cut out the skeleton pieces from the napkins.
Because of the size of my pots I was not able to use the entire skeleton, only the upper portion of them.
When cutting the images I left a bit of the black around the edges.
I brushed Mod Podge on the pots and added the skeleton pieces, taking care to gently pat them down.
When the pieces were completely dry I did add a thin coat of Mod Podge to each pot to seal.
They turned out soooo cute!
I filled the cups with colorful shredded paper.
The paper adds more color and can be found at Hobby Lobby.
To finish up, I filled cellophane bags with treats, tied with an orange ribbon, and placed one in each cup.
How cute these would be as favors for the kids, or on a table, at parties, or as a treat for coworkers on their desks, what a surprise when they come in to work.
I love working with peat pots, they have a vintage look to them. The look you all know I love.
You could add wire to the cups for a handle, I did not on mine.
Peat pots come in large and small sizes and can be found at garden centers or ordered online.
We are enjoying what may be the last of our warm fall days. Our trees have changed and are so beautiful.
Pray you all are also enjoying these days.
Thanks for stopping by and hope you liked this, not so scary, Halloween treat project.
