Cute Fall/Halloween Centerpiece Idea

I saw the following idea in a candle book, and it looks very cute for a simple centerpiece.

Take one terra cotta pot, medium sized, and paint yellow around the bottom, and white around the outside lip of the pot. Make sure to stencil your line first, in order to ensure a straight line. Your pot should now resemble a piece of candy corn. Fill the pot approximately 3/4 full with whatever filling substance you would prefer to use, for example, glass stones or sand. Use a substance that will add some weight to the pot to keep it in place and prevent it from tipping over. Place a white or ivory colored pillar candle in the middle of the pot. Cover the filler substance and surround the base of the candle with candy corn. Add to the centerpiece with options you like, such as placing the pot on top of a festive round piece of cloth, surrounding the pot with tiny pumpkins or votive/tealight candles, or anything else you see fit to be creative. As the candle burns, melted wax will eventually drip down onto the candy corn, so please warn guests that it is not advised to eat the candy. Pillar candle may be placed in a glass pillar container of your shape and size preference, and candy corn may be used to completely fill the pot if you don't mind your guests sampling the candy throughout the event.
