Wicked Good Treats Pail

Halloween is coming! Halloween is coming!
As if you didn't know.

There's pumpkin flavored EVERYTHING wherever you look.
And the ghouls and goblins have started
showing up at your favorite stores.

Okay, it's a little early to actually decorate...
but you've gotta be prepared when the time comes, right?



So I give you... my candy corn colored treats pail!
I found this fun little pail at Lowe's for $3.50. Really.
And it's a nice size. They have other sizes, too...great prices. {cheaper than the craft stores} I believe they are all by the cleaning supplies.

I just primered it so I would get better adhesion.
Yes, I painted right over the sticker on the bottom.
That's how I roll.

See how the paint is jagged and uneven? That's on purpose!

Really. Would I lie to you? I didn't want a perfectly straight line... so I tore my painter's tape down the middle for the jagged edge.

Sweet, huh?
But it's still missing something.

Oh, and before you tell me my candy corn colors are out of order.
I know and don't care. :)

I lucked out because that was literally ALL
that was left of the yellow paint in the can.
Whew!

Not super bright, because that's also how I roll. Krylon Dover White and Totally Tangerine...and Rustoleum Warm Yellow.

Yes, I used my Silhouette to cut out the vinyl. I've had a sign that I just love for a long time that says this on it. I decided I needed a treat bucket in which to put my wicked good treats.

Wicked good.

Don't have vinyl? In the past, I've printed my template, then used a sharp object... like an Xacto knife or pointy thing... to trace around the edges of the letters deep enough to mark the metal or wood.
Then you have an outline and can paint it exactly the way you want.

The house and bats I purchased as a true type dingbat font from Rhonna Designs...sweet, huh?
Please keep Colorado in your prayers. We've seen unbelievable destruction this past week and so many people have lost so much. Personally, we are okay, but many people I know are not.
Have a great week!
