Heritage Center Cast Offs

The Manitou Spring Heritage Center has been using their downtime wisely. While visitors have been slow this year, they given their storage area a good purge. A lot of the items destined for the thrift store are Halloween related and since his Lordship sits on the board, he let me pick over rejects. Like a good pack rat, I found 2 cauldrons and some red velvet cloth. I have a hankering to make over a plastic cauldron with a new paint job.

  1. Rust-Oleum makes some very realistic looking flat and hammered metallic spray paints!

    1. That sounds good - I would like a distressed rusty black look.

  2. One can never have too many cauldrons, I find.

    1. Naturally - I use them as ice buckets for serving drinks at my parties, as containers to hand out Halloween candy, as decorations in witch cabinets and as storage vessels. The uses are endless.

  3. I have one of those as well and have been meaning to do something to it so I look forward to seeing what your creative mind comes up with!

    1. I am sure that what you'll get from me is an example of what you don't want to do to yours! Still Haunted Eve has a good suggestion above.
