Halloween Candy Wreath

I'm going to let you in on a little info about my husband and I. We love to have candy in the house. We love to decorate with candy. Sometimes, we even love to eat candy :)


Needless to say, when I saw an idea to make a candy wreath I was all over it. I made one last year for Halloween and loved it so much that I had to redo it this year, with slight modification of course.


I started out with a foam wreath from Dollar Tree. Let me tell you something about Dollar Tree. Three words: Cheap craft heaven!! Always check there first. Especially when it comes to vases, glassware, etc. Where else could you get a foam wreath and grosgrain ribbon for $1?!?


Back to the wreath... I tied the ribbon around the wreath, then started with Tootsie Pops. I cut off the sucker sticks at an angle so they were easy to stick into the wreath. I then filled in the rest of the wreath by using hot glue to attach the rest of the candy.

We loved that wreath. Even so, like I said, I decided to "tweak" it a bit this year. Same concept, only this time I began by wrapping Halloween (black with orange pumpkins) around the wreath, securing it with hot glue every other time around. I spaced it out to leave plenty of room for the candy. This not only made it easier because I didn't have to put nearly as much candy, but it also made the wreath so much lighter! (My 2010 version was HEAVY!)

So that's my super cute, cheap, easy Halloween candy wreath! It's definitely going to be a must for every Halloween in the Green house!
