A Little Halloween Treat ...

*Candy Corn Pots*
Yes, this makes two posts from me today, but I wanted to show you these cute little candy pots I made this afternoon - in case they might be something you'd like to make before Halloween. :) I found this project in the October issue of Martha Stewart, but the directions are also available online here. The pots were so quick to put together, and very inexpensive, too. I think they would make a fine holiday treat for grandparents, teachers, favorite librarians, neighbors, therapists etc.!
Now, I followed Martha's instructions to the letter, but I added some festive wrapping ~ amber-colored cellophane and thin purple ribbon. Come to think of it, this craft could easily be adapted to other holidays, using seasonally appropriate colors and goodies. Hmmm ... I'll have to think on that one a bit.
I think I might bring a pot with me to our our homeschool group's Halloween party this week. I could ask for guesses as to how many candy corn are inside the pot and whoever comes closes gets to take it home! :)
Here are the materials ...
The first step, painting the bottoms white ...
Then adding an orange stripe ...
And finally the yellow!
Once the pots were thoroughly dry, I filled them with candy corn:
And then came the wrapping ...
Sweets for the sweet! :)
