This Candy tree can be a fun addition to an office or great table decorations for a Halloween party!
Step 1: Insert floral foam into clay pot, Make sure it fits snuggly.
Step 2: Take your 12” long orange ribbon and wrap it around the pot and tie a bow, hot glue gun in place.
Step 3: Take a marking pencil and evenly draw 5 lines lengthwise down the dowel. 8” from bottom on the first line, mark where the first dowel will go. On next line make the next mark ½” up from the last. Continue in this spiral fashion up the dowel.
Step 4: Pick up that Drill and a 1/16 bit and drill a pilot hole in each marking at a 45 degree angle. After making the pilot holes pick up that 3/16” bit and go over the pilot holes for a clean go.
Step 5: Take the 3/16 x 36” Dowels and cut them down to 7” long pieces and insert them into the drilled holes.
Step 6: Spray paint the “tree” black and let dry
Step 7: You will need to drill a hole into the foam in the flower pot to be able to fit the tree. Make sure you don’t drill to much foam out it needs a snug fit.
Step 8: Decorate the Halloween candy by tying black and orange bows onto the candy wrappers. Tack down the ribbons with hot glue so they won’t fall apart.
Step 9: Now that the tree is dry insert it into the flower pot.
Step 10: Cover the foam in the flower pot with floral moss.
Step 11: Take floral wire and slide it under the ribbon on candy and attach to the tree limbs, FINISHED!
This Halloween Fall Ball is easy fun and take less than an hour. I had a left over garland that was already cut up so I had the thing for this craft around the house already. Waste not want not. Just with a glue gun, ribbon, styrofoam ball, and leaves you can have an hour of creative fun. I usually don't post on Saturday but I posted this Halloween Craft up on Craftown today.
Whoot Whoo! I have waited to get these up. I had fun making these Halloween Frame Covers. The silhouettes were fun, I posed and Trent took the pictures. It was fun. I was finally able to get these Halloween Crafts up on craftown.com today!
This is a fun one to do with the kids! My kids are constantly wanting to do Halloween decorations. These Spider Silhouettes are fun for the kids. This one is fun and simple the hard part (which is not hard) is finding spiders that that are appropriate for their age and ability. I found my spiders on Google... easy! I am amazed how many Halloween craft for kids there are at craftown.com FUN! FUN! FUN!
