Black paint + everyday objects = Halloween Decor.

October 1, 2013 1 Comment

One of the things that I think is so great about Halloween is that you can pretty much take any object, paint it black, and you have Insta-Decor.

You know I super-duper love sticks and branches, especially around Halloween.  I love them on my mantel, and this pumpkin and stick combo from a few years ago is still one of my favorite looks.

You can see all of my posts about sticks HERE.

You know what else we all seem to have a lot of?  Empty jars and bottles.  Black paint does them wonders at Halloween-time too!

Get the “how-to” for these cute potion jars from The Shed.  You should also check out the cute Black & White Tablescape and floral arrangements that One Charming Party did with black paint and empty tin cans.

I love the black matte finish on these random sized bottles and jars.

The paint, along with the craft paper labels unifies them and makes them a great DIY addition to your Halloween decor.  Check out the full tutorial on Instructables.
I’m so excited that October is here!

    I totally agree with you (obviously!) about the black paint! It's like the perfect black dress of Halloween! And cat hair doesn't stick to it, like it can to a black dress…unless the paint is still wet… Thanks for sharing my project here! 🙂
