This weekend I finished a couple of Halloween decorations projects, the first of which was a wreath for our front door made out of Halloween candy.
I didn't follow the instructions on how to make this at all (sorry Martha, but your way just sounded too hard, with tying all of those pieces of candy to a metal ring with string!). Instead, I opted to use my quick and easy glue gun, and a foam wreath.
I marked some approximate lines on the foam wreath with a Sharpie, as a general guideline of where each color of candy would go, and then I went to town with the gluing. While watching a House Hunters marathon on HGTV, which is my new Sunday tradition.
I just used cheap mints from the party supply store, since at $3 a bag, they were much less expensive than the fancy candy Martha used, and it comes in all colors of the rainbow.
I glued on a double layer of grosgrain and satin ribbon, tied it in a knot, and the wreath was ready to hang!
Are you beginning to put up your Halloween decorations yet? And have you recreated anything you've pinned on Pinterest? I just wish we had a bigger front porch, so I would have room for making even more Halloween decorations that I've pinned!
