This DIY Halloween Candy Dish post is sponsored by the Sverve #smokehousebbq campaign. All thoughts and words are my own.
Over the weekend I dug out my Halloween decorations and started to transform our house. I actually couldn’t believe we’re already only three weeks away from Halloween! I feel a little behind the ball on getting everything all set up.
As I started to lay things out – the table runner, silly spider, ghost in a jar, pumpkins, you name it – I realized I was a little short on candy dishes. Then I remembered the candy dish that I had made when I was younger as a gift for my Gram. It was an easy project using terracotta pots, which I knew I had in my craft closet.
Easy DIY Halloween Candy Dish
Supplies Needed:
Terracotta pot
Terracotta saucer
Black acrylic paint
White ccrylic paint
Sponge brush
Small paint brush
Craft glue
Tutorial:
- Using the sponge brush paint both the terracotta pot and sauce black.
- When both pieces have dried thoroughly, turn the pot upside down. Run glue around the rim of the base and place the saucer on top. Place a book or other item on top and let glue adhere.
- Once glue is dried and pieces are secure, use a small paint brush to pain the word “BOO” in white inside the saucer. You can use a stencil if you want, but I like the slight squiggle that freehand gives you; it makes it look a little scary.
- Once the paint is dry you can fill it with candy or other treats for your family or party guests.

Thanks for sharing! This is something I would have never thought of!
What a cute and fun idea! Not to mention super quick and easy to make. Thanks for sharing.
Very cute idea! I love working with ceramic pots.

I love the DIY Candy dish. You could easily change paint colors and make some for other holidays.
What a great idea! I have several pots I have yet to use, and this will be perfect for them!
I love this little candy dish Liza. What a great project for the kids.
Love how cute this is and how easy it is to make! I need to bust out my creativity today and make something. Thanks for the inspiration.
Much <3 to you in Kentucky! I lived in J-town & Old Louisville 2000- 2006! GREAT POST! XOXO, MotherStucker
Hey how cool is that! I love J-Town. Thanks for stopping by
My favorite DIY Halloween projects are the easy ones! Love your candy dish!
This is such a cute idea and very inexpensive. With the pots you could make different height ones and fill them up with different candies. Great idea!
That is adorable! I love the little BOO!
That is so cute and clever!!
What a great idea. Not only is it cute it’s also budget friendly.
Thanks Stephanie! Yes, less than $5 or so. Can cost even less if you find the pots on clearance during after-summer sales.
You know, I just went looking for our candy dish and can’t seem to find it – I think I’ll be making one of these to replace it. What a cute and easy way to celebrate halloween!
Thanks Jennifer! Hope it turned out well.
How creative! This looks so easy and something to get the kids involved in. I better get on the ball considering Halloween is only 11 days away!
Thank you Emily! Fortunately it’s super-fast to make, so you still have plenty of time (though I can’t believe Halloween is already so close – eek!).
I know! We started preparing in mid-September, so it’s surprising that it’s crept up on us so quickly!
I love the fun and simplicity associated with this craft. Thanks to the cost, if you are a proud parent of multiples each one can make their own!
That’s a great idea, Jenn! Would be really nice to let all the kiddos make their own.
That’s a really cute DIY candy dish!! I love how easy it is to make it, too.

This is an awesome idea! I could see doing something like for other holidays too.
