Do you ever have one of those days when you're walking around a store somewhere and then *ZING!* an idea hits you? Well, that happened to me at Tai Pan trading last month when I saw these adorable ceramic Halloween plates selling for $5 a piece. Good gravy, do they think I'm made of money or what? The plates were orange and had cute vinyl lettering that said phrases like, "Happy Halloween" and "Trick or Treat." As I was standing in the aisle drooling over all the fabulous decorations, a stand caught my eye that was selling blank ceramic plates for 99 cents each! There were purple plates, green plates, orange plates . . . and then I suddenly remembered this pin on Pinterest I had that explained how to do Sharpie art. BAZINGA! I knew just what to do so I could have these adorable plates at a fraction of the cost! My sister and I got creative with some freehand we made these:
I have seen people use Sharpie art on bowls and mugs as well. If you’re able to get Acrylic Sealing Spray, use that with oil-based paint Sharpies. Otherwise, go with regular Sharpies but don't get too emotionally attached because I heard the art fades over time.
Other than this, Halloween was mainly full of class, work, and hours of studying! My sister and I did bake some zucchini muffins and brownies to bring over to our friends' apartment for a scary movie marathon. We watched "Poltergeist" and "The Ring." Yikes. I think I will stick with the "cutesy" side of Halloween from now on!
