Get into the Halloween spirit by painting Jack-o-lantern and/or Candy Corn Candy Cups for your party guests.

Craft Supplies:

• Peat Pots - approximately 2 1/2" tall
• Acrylic paint - white, orange, yellow
• Fine tip black permanent marker
• Paintbrush
• Sealer - optional
• Candy
• Cellophane & raffia - optional

Pumpkin:

• Either apply sealer to the outside, including the bottom of the pet pot, or apply a coat of white paint.  Let dry.
• Paint the outside, including the bottom of the pot orange.  Let dry. Apply a second coat of paint if desired.
• Draw a face on the outside of the pot with a black permanent marker.

 

Candy Corn:

• Either apply sealer to the outside, including the bottom of the pet pot, or apply a coat of white paint.  Let dry.
• With a pencil, lightly divide your pot into three even sections.
• Paint the bottom section, including the bottom of the pot white.
• Paint the top section yellow.
• Paint the middle section orange.
• Draw a face in the middle section with a black permanent marker.

When they candy cups are completely dry, fill with either wrapped candy or put unwrapped candy in cellophane and tie the cellophane with a piece of raffia.  An easy way to do this is to place the cellophane in the cup, fill it with candy - then tie it.  This way it will be the right amount of candy for the cup.
