Ceramic Trick or Treat Halloween Candy Bowl Painting Supplies

Supplies 

  1. Apply stickers
  2. Paint the inside of the bowl and outside rim orange (9) with three coats of paint
  3. Paint the bottom of the bowl black with three coats of paint
  4. Add polka dots – using a sponge with handle, get a good amount of paint on the sponge, being sure to cover the entire bottom of the sponge, push the sponge down onto the inside of the bowl, move the handle around while pushing down, and lift up
  5. With a black fun writer, draw a circle around the polka dots. Stop just short of completing the circle and add a few dots.
  6. Using a small, flat brush, paint stripes at 12 and 6 o’clock. Then, apply stripes in the middle of the two previous stripes, and continue until you are happy with the number of stripes.
  7. Remove the stickers
  8. Using a black fun writer, fill in the letters

When my son was about 5 years old he wanted us to dress up together. I have always gone bonckers over Halloween & we couldn’t wait for the fun. We decided to go as gypsy Mom & son. We used all the flowing silky fabric I had from head to toe. Then layered on long chains and colored beads . We didn’t walk into places, we danced as true gypsies!! Can not tell you how much we laughed with every one we saw. Great memories!!

OMG! I love this bowl! Halloween/fall is an awesome time of year! A few years ago our family dressed as a garden. Some us were veggies others were flowers and my granddaughter(a new born at the time) was a bee. This year we are going as a bag of M&M’s.

Love Love Love the bowl. It is so cute! My favorite costume growing up was a dalmation dog that my mom made for me. My son was the cutest when he dressed as a dinosaur at age 2. Now it is all about Star Wars characters! Thanks for the great video!

Love this bowl!! One year I dressed as a white tail deer for Halloween with real antlers on my head! We dressed my son as a skunk one year and that was fun!

My absolute favorite costume was my pajamas. I went as a bed head in 4th grade! My mom and I had a blast putting my hair up in foam curlers, picking out my favorite Jamies and slippers, and smearing a green face mask on was the cherry on top! The bet part was it was a free costume of things I had at home! I’ll never forget this because it’s my favorite Halloween memory!

Love the bowl! My oldest son has hyper sensitivities so it may not be the most creative costume but every year he has been wearing glow in the dark skeleton pajamas since he was three. I love how we can use the pajamas over and over and not just for Halloween. My favorite part is how comfortable he is and they are warmer than a lot of other costumes for the Minnesota weather.

Love the bowl. Great tip on the letters. My favorite costume be the friendly witch. My nieces could all be a beautiful friendly witch but still show their own style because they have a different costume for each.

How to Paint Pottery & Ceramics: Ombre Effect

The effect of going from light to dark colors is called "ombre." It looks great and is super easy! You can apply the ombre effect to many pieces of pottery, and you can use all kinds of colors (we have so many different shades of pink in our studios, it's not even funny)! My favorite alternate title for this video blog is: Four Shades of Purple!
