Day 281 – Crafty Autumn Gifts

Today for my intention, I decided to make a couple of gifts for my friends Tammy and Kim. I will see them tomorrow and thought what a great touch to their day it would be to make something especially for them in celebration of the fall, Halloween, etc.

I saw the cutest pin on Pinterest that I posted to my board that I just knew I had to make time to do this season and today was just that day. It was a Terra Cota clay pot painted to look like a candy corn and filled with candy and a bow. So, I gathered the supplies earlier today and after dinner, sat at the table to tackle this project. I painted the pots freehand and it was surprisingly easy- I just worked from the bottom up. The yellow and orange needed about three coats and the white went on nicely with only two.
After it was all dry, I filled up some Halloween treat bags with Peanut M&M’s, Sixlets, Whoppers, Peanut Butter Kisses, Sweeties and of course Candy Corn!! Then to top it off, I tied a black shimmery cloth ribbon at the top in a sweet little bow. All and all it was a little over an hour out of my day to make the day of others and worth every moment. This is definitely a gift I will make in the future again. #lovetocraft #HGAL #candycornlove
