Candy Corn Craft Project: Candy Corn Wreath

Here’s another fun and festive candy corn craft project for kids (and adults!) that will add a touch of Halloween charm to your home: making a Candy Corn Wreath.

What You’ll Need:

• A foam wreath form
• Plenty of candy corn
• A hot glue gun (for older kids/adults) or non-toxic craft glue (for younger kids)
• Black and orange ribbon
• Optional: small Halloween decorations (plastic spiders, bats, etc.)
• A pair of scissors

Instructions:

1. Prepare Your Workspace: Lay down some newspaper or a disposable tablecloth to protect your workspace from glue. Have all your materials within reach.
2. Wrap the Wreath Form: Take the black and orange ribbon and wrap it around the foam wreath form, alternating colors to create a striped effect. This will serve as the base of your wreath. Secure the ends of the ribbon with a bit of glue.
3. Glue the Candy Corn: Starting at one section of the wreath, apply a small amount of glue to the back of each candy corn piece and press it onto the wreath. Arrange the candy corn pieces in a pattern that covers the wreath form completely, working your way around until the entire wreath is covered.
4. Add Decorations: If you have small Halloween decorations, glue them onto the wreath to add extra flair. Plastic spiders, bats, or small pumpkins work well and give the wreath a more festive look.
5. Attach a Hanging Ribbon: Cut a length of ribbon and loop it around the top of the wreath. Tie the ends into a bow or a knot, creating a loop that you can use to hang the wreath on your door or wall.
6. Let It Dry: Allow the glue to dry completely before handling the wreath. This ensures that all the candy corn pieces and decorations stay securely in place.
7. Display Your Creation: Once your wreath is dry, find the perfect spot to display it. Hang it on your front door to welcome trick-or-treaters or place it on a wall inside your home to add a touch of Halloween spirit.

Creating a Candy Corn Wreath is a delightful way to celebrate the season and enjoy some creative time with your family. Once your wreath is complete, snap a photo and leave a comment here on the Candy Corn Hub to share your masterpiece with other candy corn lovers!
