Candy Corn???? Smell My Feet?

The girls and I decided to make a Halloween footprint project. Handprint and Footprint projects are their favorite because they get to get paint all over without getting into trouble.  We are going to paint their feet like Candy Corn for the project.

First we gathered together everything we would need.
     1 canvas frame
     Acrylic Paints - White, Yellow, Orange, Tan & Black.
     sponge brushes

We painted the canvas all in Tan and then waited for it to dry. Then we poured globs of White, Yellow & Orange paint onto a plate so we could work quickly with it. 



Paint the White onto the heel, Orange across the middle of the foot and then Yellow across the top part of the foot including the toes.  



Working as quickly as possible before the paints dry place the foot onto the canvas in the area where you want it to appear.  Reapply paints if making more than one footprint and repeat the process until you have the amount of Candy Corn footprints on your canvas that you want.



When canvas is completely dry then, using the Black paint you want to paint on the words TRICK OR TREAT SMELL MY FEET.  Then we painted the sides of the canvas black also. When project is completely dry then it is ready to hang on your wall.




This project was made for the girls' parents as a surprise!

Happy Halloween Everyone!!!
