Tape off the rolling pin ends with tape.

I like to use painters tape tape off the end of the rolling pins so that I have a clean line of color on the handles.

You can see both pins below, taped and ready to be painted.

Paint the Halloween mini rolling pins.

I normally apply two coats of paint to the rolling pins, waiting the time indicated on the paint bottles in between coats.

Decide if you want the side of the roller to match the color of the rest of the roller or the handles. I like for the side of the roller to be the same color as the rolling pin.

Remove painters tape from the handles.

After the paint dries, remove the painters tape from the handles of the Halloween mini rolling pins.

Paint the rolling pin handles.

Paint the handles of the Halloween mini rolling pins after removing the tape. I like to use the paint color of the other rolling pin, making a really cute set.

Add embellishments to the mini rolling pins.

Ribbons and twine look great as an embellishment tied around the rolling pin. To make my bow, I start by hot gluing a short strip of ribbon around the end of the rolling pin.
