Candy Corn Wreath

My name is Michelle and I’m addicted to candy corn.

When I saw this wreath, I knew I had to make it…

Halloween Craft: Candy Corn Wreath

I was hoping that by the time I got done making it, I would never want to eat candy corn again.  No such luck.

I actually made this wreath last year before I started blogging.  I’m surprised at how well it held up.  I slathered it in Modge Podge (to help protect it) before I packed it away.  (And to keep myself from picking off the pieces..the last remaining candy corn in our house.  I told you I was an addict.)

I followed the directions given on the Woman's Day site…with some adjustments.  I spray painted my wreath black instead of using duct tape.  Visible duct tape on a craft freaked me out.  And you all know that I like spray paint.  This project was easy but time consuming.  From what I am reading, all wreaths are time consuming.  Totally worth it though.

I’m curious how many years it will last.  Ike and I will enjoy it while we can!

Have you made a wreath?  How’d it go? Anyone know of a good CCA (Candy Corn Anonymous) group?

    Cute! Make sure if you have a CCA friend over that they don't start gnawing at it in your foyer. :)

    I made one out of peppermint candies for Christmas a few years ago and the whole thing was a sticky mess. I vowed to never mess with candy and crafts again. This however, is pretty darn cute.

    So cute! It would make me always want to go BUY candy corn though, so I don't think I could have one of these. Just too dangerous. :)

    The wreath is really cute, but more importantly, I finally found someone who likes candy corn. I always wondered how they still made it because I've never met a single person that likes it

    Dear Anonymous (eh hem, Mom)-

    The ribbon is tied in a knot and hanging from a nail on the inside of the door. You could also use a 3M hook if you don't want to use a nail.

    Oh great, my daughter just saw me reading this so guess what we're doing this week?) I wasn't planning of any fall crafts since we're moving but I guess this will be our fall fun. It looks amazing Michelle.

    I love the wreath. I totally wanted to make that wreath last year and like many things, never did. Maybe there's still time?

    Rick (who was standing over my shoulder when I pulled this post up and saw "I am addicted to candy corn") says: "It must be a pharmacist thing." Apparently he wants to eat your super cute wreath, too. :)

    How cool that it held up--Mod Podge is a wonder worker! :)

    That is so cute! I actually have a love/hate relationship with candy corn. I don't really like it that much but if it is around I will keep eating it. Go figure!

    I love candy corn so I'm hesitant to make this wreath, but I've been thinking about it cause I love the texture and colors. Yours is the cutest one I've seen. Maybe I can get my three year old to help. I love that it'll hold up until next year.

    This is so cute! I'm afraid I would have to buy 3Xs more candy corn that the wreath would use, because that is my favorite this time of year!
