Take terra cotta pots (I like the narrow ones with the tall rims that Michael's carries for this project):
Paint a few coats of gloss acrylic paint. (Doesn't have to be enamel) I've seen these with yellow on the bottom but I like yellow on the open end... they look more like the candies that way. You can free hand it or tape it off if you prefer clean lines.
Once a color of paint has dried, add the next color until your pots are completely painted. I paint the inside of the rim as well so it looks more finished.
You can put a face on them or spell out 'trick or treat' or whatever. I decided to leave them as is.
Have you seen the Candy Corn M&M's yet??
I thought they'd be nice add to the candy corn!
Easy-peasy. And cute :)
Have a great weekend!
