Trick or Treat - Paint this terra cotta pot to serve candy for your trick or treaters.
- Halloween painted terra cotta pot
Charm your Halloween trick or treaters by serving candy from this terra cotta flower pot that you can paint in time for Halloween.
- All you need to complete this project is a terra cotta flower pot the size of your choice (I used an 8″ wide pot). a 3″ piece of card stock, paint brushes and 4 colors of DecoArt Patio paints, Wrought Iron Black, Citrus Green, Petunia Purple, and Tiger Lily Orange.
- Paint the inside of your pot and the outside rim with the green. Draw a black line around the inside bottom edge of the rim, then paint purple dots spaced on the inside rim.
- Paint the the remainder of the outside pot black. Paint spiders as shown spaced around the rim with black paint.
- On card stock, draw a 2″ wide pumpkin and cut out to create a pumpkin shaped hole in the card stock. Use the pumpkin opening as a stencil and paint the pumpkins on the pot with orange. Paint the mouth, nose and eyes with black paint and a stem with green paint. Paint purple dots randomly between the pumpkins.
Fill with candy or fruit and have a fun, spooky Halloween.

I’ve done a lot of pained terra cotta pots, but I never considered using one like this!
Such a good idea, thanks!
