Thanks to Pinterest, I found this great idea for bat o’lanterns, made from mini pumpkins, of course! I adore them! The contrast of the black against all the orange of Halloween is perfect! And, if you’re looking for some cheap paint for your crafty projects, run to Home Depot right now. All the Martha Stewart test pots are on sale for 25 cents, and you can tint them to whatever color you want! I was there today, and picked up the black for this project. Yes, also 25 cents! (The paint line has been discontinued… so get them while you can!)

Super Cute Idea! the kids would love this – Much easier than carving them – Hope you had a great weekend – hugs
The kids DID love it, and I loved it because it’s a little different than the usual mess! 🙂
You’re making me appreciate Halloween a bit more now! These are pretty flipping adorable…or am I supposed to say “spooky”? Have a nice Monday Rosa!
LOL, yes, adorable works. I want to keep Halloween adorable for as long as I can! I think that with two boys it may get spooky/creepy/gross faster than I would hope! 😉
VERY Cute! 25 cents!!! DID YOU SAY 25 CENTS??? I’LL BE CHECKING OUT HD TODAY TO SEE IF THERE’S ANY LEFT!
Oh, let me know if there are any left at your location Meesh! Good luck!
oops, sorry about the all caps. For some reason caps are not showing in the comment window.
Very cute!
Thanks Sheila!
So I have to tell you that my caps lock never works on your comment thingy …. weird??? Anyways, just ignore my lack of capital letters at every new sentence. As for those crazy adorable little bats …….. well, I just finished painting a few of my own. Thank you for the inspiration, girlfriend!!!
Yay! Glad I was able to entice you into the Halloween mood. 🙂
And, your capitals looks fine on this end! 🙂
The site is looking gorgeous, Rosa! i love that little pumpkin bat!
Have a Great halloween with your Kids Rosa!!
This is the cutest ever!! Love when people can actually decorate for halloween without all the nasty, scary stuff. This is something I would totally do 🙂
These are delightful! Such a wonderful lil’ project. And you photographed them so nicely too.
I’m so sad to hear that their discontinuing the Martha Stewart paint line at the Home Depot. I painted my former condo with this collection and loved it! I find stores always discontinue the nicest things, don’t they?!
