Halloween candy corn terra cotta pots

By Debbiedoo's Team Published: Sep 11, 2013 · Modified: Sep 9, 2015

Hello Ladies (and gents)

Jacque here from the DIY village again with a fun fast project for you, this time Halloween Style!

Candy Corn Terracotta Pot

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!

Last year I went all out and did a ton of projects. Here are a few of my favorites! Or you can check them out HERE.

Diamond Pattern Halloween RugI adore this door mat. The only problem is that it currently resides at my mother-in-laws house … whomp whomp whomp.And my absolute favorite the Halloween Snow globe. I pulled it out of the attic a few days ago and it’s still going strong! Thank goodness!DIYHalloweenSnowGlobe

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. I thought this would be a great time to add to my decor with a fast easy project! So lets get to it!

Candy Corn Terracotta Pot

MATERIALS:

Terracotta Pots- Whatever size you desire

Craft Paints – Yellow, Orange, White

Paint Brush

Painters Tape (optional)

Candy Corn Terracotta PotBefore 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!

Candy Corn Terracotta PotThese 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 last year!

Candy Corn Terracotta Pot Halloween Decor

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!

    Almost missed those pots, and I would love to do that. It’s about in my ability level, and it would make my husband laugh. He loves candy corn more than any candy in the world but isn’t supposed to have sweets anymore.

    Wouldn’t that be an adorable way to serve trick or treat candy?

    I have a weakness for candy corn. Cannot resist it! I can’t resist these pots, either!
