Looking for a fun and unique halloween craft that would make some fantastic Halloween Party Favors (or gifts)? Look no further!  These Halloween Peat Pots are darling — and there are no rules other than to have fun!

This past spring, I was shopping at The Vintage Peddler here in Springfield, MO and they were giving all of their shoppers the cutest little buckets with some treats in it.  Then I spotted some Halloween paper mache candy buckets over at House of Hawthornes displayed in her vintage Halloween decor.  Hmmmm….

Tutorial at livelaughrowe.comAs a result of these two sightings (hee-hee), it got my wheels turning.  So I bought some supplies and sat down to put my freehand painting skills to work.  I think the vintage inspired cat is my favorite; however, the ghost is the easiest (and pretty cute too)!

Tutorial at livelaughrowe.comI’m not sure why, but I’m on the fence with the pumpkin. Meh.  It might just be the orange — it isn’t one of my favorite colors.  Regardless,  it’s still kind of adorable.

Supplies for Vintage Inspired Halloween Party Favors:

Peat Pots (I purchased these)
16 Gauge Black Tie Wire (purchased mine at local hardware store)
Wire Cutters

Seam Binding Ribbon

Step One and Two:  Preparing the Peat Pot

Grab your peat pot, decide which face you’ll be painting and brush your base color on.  Obviously you’ll paint the pot black for the cat, white for the ghost and/or orange for the pumpkin.  Allow to dry completely.

Specific colors I used:  Apple Barrel 20504 Black, FolkArt 2249 Pueblo, Americana Snow White and Craft Smart Mustard Yellow.

Step Three:  Face Painting

Painting on the faces.  Due to the bumpy nature of the peat pots, using a stencil or template seemed useless.  So, I painted mine  freehand.  The good thing with this type of a project is that you can fix any boo-boos with more paint (woo-hoo).

Step Four:  Add Wire Handle

Cut an eleven to twelve inch piece of wire.  Using the wire, poke small holes in either side of the peat pot.  Again, I just eyeballed it.  Using round nosed pliers, I twisted up the wire on the inside of the pot.

    Hi. It’s been while and I usually don’t write anything but had to on these little peat pots. They are darling. I may have try them. One idea is to paint around the bottom of them put little flowers around bottom for spring. Thanks so much.
