Witch Craft

Candy Corn are to Halloween as Peeps are to Easter. Made of pure sugar, filled with nostalgia and used for everything but eating.1 (http://100waystokillapeep.blogspot.com/

This weekend I decided to show my candy corn support by using them as the medium for my Halloween craft-- a super traditional/simple candy corn wreath.

What you will need:
3- 22oz bags of Candy Corn
Black duct tape
Hot glue gun 
Styrofoam wreath base (mine was 18")
Black ribbon
A dentist

Step 1: Wrap the styrofoam all the way around in black duct tape

Step 2: Glue the candy corn all over the wreath (it helps if you figure out a pattern in the beginning and follow it all the way around so you have a consistent look.)

Step 3: Tie the ribbon any way you'd like and hang!

Trick: Weed out all the "reject" corns before you start the gluing process. You'll be happy you did this when your glue is hot and drying fast and you're scrambling through the bowl for a damn corn that actually made it to the white-tip step in the factory.

Treat: Due to the sugar high, this craft should take you about...30 seconds. 


Boo-tiful! See mummy, I eat my veggies =).

1. According to my bag of Brach's, each year American's consume enough candy corn that if laid end-to-end, would circle the earth 4.25 times...lies
