Easiest Halloween Decoration Ever

Like I mentioned in this post, I had some left over chalkboard paint from when I did Penelope's playroom makeover.  And now I wander around my house, mentally referring to my chalkboard pin board on Pinterest,  trying to find things I can paint with chalkboard paint. 


One Fall, several years ago, I thought it would be a great idea to buy 5 million clay pots and put mums inside and line them up and down my front steps.  It was beautiful, but not very practical.  Ever since, I have had mountains of these clay pots in my garage, just waiting for the perfect DIY to come along. 

I had been meaning to rearrange and re pot some of my orchids and replenishe their soil with some orchid fertilizer.  I slapped some chalk board paint on the pots first before I replanted.  I painted two coats.

Then I wrote Boo in white chalk.  I love how it came out!  So stinking cute and best of all, EASY.

I have seen all kinds of footprint artwork on Pinterest, but I haven't seen this till my friend did it.  She made hers out of felt and put it on a felt, trick or trick bag she made for her daughter.  I was going to do this painted version, but my other friend beat me to it.  She watched Penelope for me the other day and they did this craft together.  


I think this would look super cute in a black frame with a white background.  It would be cute to do this every year and make it a tradition.

 

And lastly, another super easy, toddler craft that doubles as a Fall decoration.  Again, this is not my idea but one of my friends.  Penelope had so much fun doing this, she says Paint Pumpkin!, several times a day.  It is just plain old acrylic paint and let your little one go to town.


Oh and P.S.  remember this post with my Candy Corn pins?  Yeah, well, I was right,  I ended up eating the entire glass jar of candy corns. I actually pulled it off the counter and sat down with the damn thing on my lap and watched a movie.  No more decorating with candy corn for me.


What is your best and EASY Halloween decoration?
