Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween!

I hope you are enjoying your Halloween.

My children are adults now, so I don't 

have the chance to dress them up anymore

and we don't get trick or treaters at our house

so I don't get a chance to enjoy the kids from our

area either, but I hope you are having some 

Halloween fun.

Here is what I did for some Halloween fun.

I got a wine glass at the Dollar Tree and

used some of my acrylic craft paints to paint this

cute tea light holder.

It took a few coats of each color or paint,

but it went on fairly easily.

I just needed to be sure the paint was really

dried between coats. If not the other layers

can pull up and create a mess.

Don't ask how I know this.

Live and learn!

The hardest part for me was deciding on 

what kind of face to paint on it.
I love how the little vines look like 

little wisps of hair.

Once it was painted and dried,

I coated it with a layer of Mod Podge to 

seal it.  If you don't the paint can scratch off

easily and who wants that when you've put 

time and effort into it.

And the Mod Podge gives it a nice finish.

This is a gift and I sure hope they like it as much

as I do.

Thanks for stopping in today.

I hope you'll try painting something a little

different.  I think there are a lot of cute things you could

do with glasses like this for Christmas, or any occasion

for that matter.

See you again soon!
