Drill with a bit as large as the wooden dowel
Make it clever or make it spooky, your Halloween fairy garden will be a conversation piece! Transform an ordinary black cauldron into a metallic version and add a few Halloween fairy pieces to complete the look.
- Over a drop cloth, spray on the 2X Ultra Cover Paint + Primer in Flat Black, following the directions on the can. Let it dry for at least 30 minutes.
- Spray paint Stops Rust Metallic Black over the primed cauldrons until completely covered. Follow the directions on the can for best results.
- For larger fairy garden pieces, use 2X Ultra Cover in Gloss Real Orange and for smaller pieces, use Testors' enamel paints and a small brush.
- Let all paint dry for approximately one hour before use in the garden.
- While paint dries, add craft foam pieces to the larger cauldron to help prop the smaller one and drill a hole in the smaller cauldron.
- Connect the two cauldrons with a wooden dowel.
- Fill both cauldrons with dirt, Spanish moss and plants as you'd like.
- Once paint is dry, arrange fairy pieces in the cauldrons and decorate with Halloween ribbon and a glue gun.
Tip: For best results, make sure plastic is fully primed with 2X Ultra Cover Paint + Primer before Stops Rust is added.
