Ahhh October, my favorite month of the
year, how I have missed you!
October and I have a special bond, and I get excited just
thinking about it. It’s kind of like Christmas for me, and I honestly don’t
know why. I have no clue what it is about October that makes me so
twitterpated, but I love it!
And what may you ask does October smell like? Well, just
imagine the most wonderful smell in the entire world and then quadruple it, and
that’s pretty much what October smell like to me. Ahhh…I am beyond content
right now.
Halloween is right up there with Christmas on my
list of favorite holidays, and I love everything about it, but most of all I
love decorating for it. Now, I should mention that I like cutesy Halloween
stuff and not the scare the tar out of you Halloween stuff. All the glitter,
none of the gore. Ok, so now that I have
said that I wanted to share some of my Halloween décor with you (yes, my house
is already decorated for Halloween, and has been for quite a while).
So, I had an idea a while back about making a candy corn
wreath. Perfect for Halloween, right! I
knew that I wanted to use Styrofoam cones for the candy corn, and arrange them
all wreath like and such, but when I went to pick up my supplies I kind of freaked
at the price of Styrofoam…
Seriously, it would have cost me over $30 just to make one
simple wreath, so the Styrofoam cones were a no go, and I was pretty bummed.
Then, as I was wondering around the Dollar Tree I found an alternative…
Yep, those are Styrofoam cups painted to look like candy corn.
In hindsight I should have definitely painted the inside of the cups...and maybe added a few more to make it lay a little flatter...and maybe found out how to tie a better bow...but overall I think it looks pretty cute hanging in my hallway.
I think I need another one for my front door so a tutorial (even though it is pretty self explanatory) might be in the works.
Well, there you have it! A kitschy cute candy corn wreath just in time for Halloween!
Have a Happy Weekend!
