How Sweet is This?!?

At dinner tonight, with great friends, we were talking. Why are the pumpkins in the Candy Corn so much better than the regular corns? Leave a comment with your theory?!?

It probably doesn't help when I have an old fashioned candy machine on my kitchen island filled with Candy Corn. "Just one more handful" has been my personal motto over the past week. 


I thought I would share the cutest Halloween craft idea before it is too late! The goal is more CRAFTING and less EATING candy. Featured on Regis and Kelly yesterday when we visited the studio was an inspiration from Women's Day:


How Sweet is this? This involves a Glue Gun, and Regis was totally overwhelmed by this thought!

• Sweet Wreath!

  When weaved together, candy corn makes a vivid textile pattern, which you can use to create this chic door adornment. All you need is a Styrofoam wreath, black duct tape, a hot glue gun, candy corn, and, most important, a wide black ribbon to conceal any unavoidable gaps.
  
  

Everyone's favorite Halloween sweet is no longer limited to the candy dish! This easy-to-makewreath utilizes the colorful candy for a fun homemade decoration.

1. You’ll need a Styrofoam wreath (ours is 16 in.), black duct tape, a hot-glue gun, a wide ribbon and candy corn (we used Brach’s).

2. Cover the wreath in tape.

3. To get a sense of how the corns will fit, lay them around the wreath in single rows, with one row pointing left and the next pointing right, but don’t glue down. (It won’t take long and your final product will be more polished.) Remove the corn from the wreath and hot-glue the pieces in the pattern one at a time, starting from the outer edge of the wreath inward, until you’ve covered the entire top and side.

4. Repeat the process in the center, starting at the same point as you did for the top so that you can cover any corn-free space with the ribbon when you’re finished.

5. Wrap ribbon through the wreath at the candy corn seam, tie into a bow and hang on a sturdy nail.
