How to Make A DIY Halloween Wreath with Candy
In this post, I’m going to show you how to make a DIY Halloween wreath with Candy that will not only impress trick-or-treaters but will also add a touch of "sweetness" to your front door décor.
Materials
- Straw Wreath Dollar Tree Plus has them
- 3-4 Gift Bows
- Assortment of candy
- Assortment of curling ribbon
- Scissors
- Floral Pins
- Hot Glue as an alternative to floral pins
Instructions
Step One: Apply Gift Bows
- Attach a cluster of gift bows to the top or one side of the wreath using the floral pins of hot glue. This will add a fun pop of color to your wreath!
Step Two: Make Curly Cue Ribbon Bows
- Choose ribbons in Halloween colors, or you can use whatever you have as I did. Cut the ribbons into 12-14 inch strips, long enough to tie a bow. Tie each strip into a bow knot as shown below.
Step Three: Attach Candy
- Add the curly ribbons to each piece of candy and then using the floral pins or your hot glue gun, stick the candy onto the wreath form, ensuring that the candy is tightly secured.
- Try to space the candy out evenly throughout the wreath.
Step Four: Fill in the Gaps
- Add finishing touches to your wreath! After all the ribbon bows have been securely glued onto the wreath, look at the wreath as a whole.
- If you see any gaps, you may fill them in with candy or ribbon. You can also add faux spiders to the wreath to give it a final creepy touch.
- Make sure to get the inside space as well as the outer edges of the wreath form as well.
Step Five: Optionally Attach Scissors
- If you would like for children to have the option to cut their very own piece of Halloween candy, attach a pair of safety scissors by tying them to one of the ribbons at the bottom.
