How To Make Spooky Sweet Candy Corn Halloween Wreath

INSIDE: How to make a spooky sweet DIY candy corn Halloween wreath using cardboard and Halloween tulle ribbon.

I have a confession. I’ve never tried a candy corn. There, I said it. Out loud and to the whole blogosphere. I have nothing against the triangle-shaped, tri-colored candy; they’ve just never looked like they were worth a run around my neighborhood the next day!

But, that doesn’t mean I can’t decorate in all things white, orange and yellow.

Armed with a piece of cardboard, some packing tape and lots of tulle ribbon, I hung a large candy corn on my door instead of popping a handful into my mouth!

How To Make Spooky Sweet Candy Corn Halloween Wreath

We’ll just add candy corn to the long list of foods I’ve yet to try. Up there with bologna sandwiches and “real” sushi! It’s much more sweet to decorate in the end, don’t you think?

Supplies:
– Cardboard (or foamcore)
– Packing tape (needed if using cardboard
– White tulle ribbon
– Yellow tulle ribbon
– Orange tulle ribbon
– Black ribbon
– Hot glue gun
– Halloween floral spray
– Assorted plastic Halloween toys, such as spider rings, eyeballs or spiderweb glasses
– Optional: black cat Halloween plant stake

how to make a candy corn door hanger with cardboard

Cut TWO large triangles from a piece of cardboard.

Place the two pieces together and secure the sides with packing tape. Leave the large end of the triangle open so that it mimics a pocket.

Start wrapping the white tulle around the bottom of the triangle. Next wrap the orange tulle followed by the yellow tulle at the largest part of the triangle. The sections will become wider as you move up the triangle.

You may need to double wrap to fully cover the cardboard from peeking through the tulle ribbon.

Now you can fill the cardboard pocket with a sparkly Halloween floral spray, or a Halloween plant stake.

Decorate the front of the candy corn door hanger with assorted plastic Halloween toys like iconic spider rings, eye balls or spiderweb glasses cut in half.

Secure all these various pieces, including a large black bow, with a hot glue gun.

So… should I give in and try these corny candy trifecta?
