Fearless Friday, Halloween Fun with Paint
Now that pumpkins are starting to appear,
I’ve started thinking about Halloween
I rounded up some favorite art craft ideas to get you in the mood
and you don’t have to be an artist to make them!
This Haunted Mansion is painted to look spooky
I painted it with the dry brush technique~
using a brush that is only partially dipped in paint,
so that as you stroke with it,
it leaves a minimum amount of paint
on the cardboard house from Hobby Lobby,
to make it look old and weathered
You can paint a plate with candy corn and ghosts,
but you can also make one with paper ghosts and candy corn,
no paint or painting skills required!
Spooky Fun Halloween Decoration
Make a mummy spoon by painting a wooden spoon black
and then with only a few simple strokes, you’ve got a mummy!
It’s a great addition to a Halloween themed tiered tray
The spider sign is also only a few strokes of simple shapes~
you can buy unfinished wood plaques on Amazon here
These little plaques can add a festive touch to vignettes too
Paint Brunhilda the witch on a wine glass
She’s a little more complicated,
but again she comes to life with simple strokes
You can see the tutorial here
Make a ghost out of a wine bottle
All you need is black and white paint
I’m just here for the BOOS!
Paint a candy corn plate!
Just a few simple strokes with yellow, orange, black and white
Paint candlesticks to look like kids dressed up for Halloween
like these Trick or Treaters
Again, just simple shapes and faces
You can get the plain wood candlesticks I used here
Create a spooky pumpkin with black and white paint
Pair it with ghosts for some spooky fun 👻
Paint up some Halloween fun!
Be Fearless!

Super fun Jenna! Your painted candlesticks are adorable! I’m ready for the boos and pumpkins! 👻🎃 Happy Friday 🧡
Thanks Mary! We are finally getting some cooler temps and I’m so ready for Fall fun!
Spooktacularly fun crafts, Jenna!
Thanks Rita 👻🧙♀️🎃
I really do need to start decorating!
It will be October before we know it!
This is so festive and fun. I’m still getting out fall but wil start Halloween proper in mid-October. These are all such fun ideas!
Thanks Jeanie, have fun decorating!
I like fall decorations better than Halloween, but I must say that your Halloween decorations are very clever and are of the FUN variety rather than the gory items available commercially.
Thank you Linda, I don’t like the gory side of Halloween, only the cute fun stuff!
I love your creativeness on all, but the wine glasses are extra creative!
Thank you Mary, I love the cute, fun side of Halloween, not the gory, creepy stuff 🎃
Wonderfully spooky and fun ideas for Halloween Jenna! I love the tiered tray and that painted mummy spoon. The haunted house is adorable as are the witchy wine glasses. Your Halloween table looks so fun – who wouldn’t want to dine there? Thanks for all your creative ideas and I’m so glad to hear the weather is cooling a bit. Take care!
Thank you Kim, Halloween will be here before we know it! Yes, our weather is quite comfortable now, such a refreshing and welcome change!
