Witches’ Brew? Zombie Brain Martini? Serve up your favorite Halloween drinks and these fun mason jars! They’ll be sure to raise the spirits at your upcoming party.

Things you will need: Mason jars, multi-surface paint and a paint brush, and a Stencil1 Halloween stencil.

Place your stencil on the mason jar. Here, we are using the Stencil1 Jolly Roger stencil. Hold your stencil firmly around the glass to keep it in place. Load up your brush with your paint and start painting away! Be sure to wipe off any excess paint on a paper towel or plate to prevent any bleeding.

After painting, place your jars in a oven at 330 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-45 minutes. This seals the paint on the class and helps the design last longer, especially when washing!

Here’s another Day of the Dead DIY for you all to try out: A tin container for you to fill up with treats in honor of the deceased!

To start off, grab the first layer of the 2 Layer Sugar Skull stencil and place it in the center of the tin container. Paint it white and let it dry.

Once the first layer is dry, grab the second layer of the Sugar Skull stencil. Grab a smaller paint brush and start painting in the details with different colors. The more colorful, the more festive!

Next, grab a floral stencil. Here we used the Stencil1 Bouquet Pattern stencil and cut the flowers into different sections. This makes placing and painting the flowers around the tin container much easier!

Don’t just give the kids one candy… Give them a whole bunch of treats in a bag made by you!

Things you will need: A plain cloth bag, black and orange paint and paint brush, and Stencil1 Small Pattern stencils.

Start of by grabbing the pattern of your choice and place it on the cloth bag. Here we are using the Stencil1 Diamond repeat pattern stencil.

Load up your brush with paint color of your choice. Since the pattern stencils are so detailed, it is essential to blot the excess paint off your paint brush by wiping it on a paper towel or plate. This prevents paint from bleeding underneath the stencil.

Start painting away!

You can either paint over the stencil evenly for a cleaner finish, or in this case, roughly to give a more distressed look.

Once the paint is dry, carefully remove the stencil to reveal the pattern.

Welcome in the Fall season with new decor! Warm up your home with a sweet owl print to hang up for its wise eyes to see.

Things you will need: Brown paper, Stencil1 Sprayers metallic spray ink, paint brush and ink pad, and the Stencil1 Owl stencil.

DSC05409

Start off by coating your paper with a layer of the spray ink. Here, we are using the Stencil Sprayer metallic spray ink in Metallic Copper.

Not only does coating the paper with the spray ink give it a more vintage, worn out feel, it also gives off a metallic shine when held to the light!

DSC05416

Once the ink has dried, get the stencil, brush, and ink pad ready.

Load your brush up on the ink pad and start painting away! What’s great about stenciling with an ink pad is that you pick up the perfect amount of ink for your stencil! No blotting necessary.
