SUPPLIES NEEDED TO MAKE A HALLOWEEN CANDY WREATH

This quick and easy Halloween Candy Wreath uses easy to find supplies to create a fun wreath for your door or wall that your family will love.

All you need is:

• wire floral frame
• orange tulle ribbon
• candy pumpkin bucket
• empty candy boxes 
• fake rats, bats, snakes, or bugs
• black ribbon

HOW TO MAKE A HALLOWEEN CANDY WREATH

Using a hot glue gun makes this craft come together easily.

You simply take the pieces of tulle and tie them onto the wreath, the secure your pumpkin, glue your creatures in place, and then finish with gluing your candy boxes.

In less than an hour, you’ll have a Halloween wreath that you can use every Halloween season!

The instructions look long but trust me, it’s really easy to make this Halloween inspired wreath.

You simply take the orange tulle ribbon and cut 20-30 24-inch long sections.

Next, take one section at a time and fold it in half and place it under the wreath frame. 

Now you have two loose ends and one end with a loop. 

Now take the two loose ends and thread it through the loop!

See how easy that is!

Make sure to pull the tulle tight and repeat these steps until the entire wreath is covered in tulle. 

I chose to just utilize the inner three tines of the wreath frame so that the final outer tine would help support the tulle ribbons and keep them from curling behind the wreath.

After you are all done placing the tulle on the wreath frame, trim the edges to create a circle.

Next, take your pumpkin candy bucket and cut off the handle.

Take two pieces of black ribbon and thread it through each handle hole in the pumpkin, then hot glue the ribbon to wreath frame and hot glue the ribbon inside of the pumpkin making sure it is all center.

I wanted it to be a little lower than the center so that the candy boxes could have more room to be on display.

Think about the way you would like your candy bucket to be positioned with respect to the wall or door.

I wanted most of the pumpkin to stick out from the wreath, so I used tin snips to remove ⅓ of the back of the pumpkin bucket.

Next is the fun part!

Decorate your wreath with the spiders, rats etc.

Hot glue the fake rats, snakes, and whatnot in place on the wreath.

I even cut one of the rats in half and positioned it to look like it was “coming out” of the pumpkin’s mouth.

Place the large candy boxes against the wreath (not the pumpkin) and hot glue them in place to look like they are coming out of the pumpkin.

Add the small candy boxes, as desired, and enjoy!
