Edible Halloween Candy Wreath Craft

September 28, 2019 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Crafts, DIY, Facebook, Halloween, Instagram, Pinterest, Social Media 1 Comment

Ridiculously easy, Edible Halloween Candy Wreath Craft.  In just a few minutes, gather your Halloween Candy and make this door wreath for Halloween and your trick-or-treaters!

Edible Halloween Candy Wreath

Edible Halloween Candy Wreath

We had fun with this Halloween craft. It’s an easy craft for even the most inexperienced crafter. Of course, that crafter would need to purchase a hot glue gun, if he/she doesn’t have one in the home. Then pick up a candy you won’t put entirely in your belly and start crafting your Halloween Candy Wreath.

Halloween Out of Candy Sign

Traditionally, on Halloween night my front door has our printable Out of Candy Halloween Sign after 9 pm. I guess, with this Halloween Wreath, I might never technically find myself out of candy. If you have this  wreath on your front door on Halloween night, consider this candy to be eaten after you open the door for the last trick-or-treater. It might not be one you can keep for a long time.

Sorry Out of Candy Free Printable Door Sign

Where to Buy a Halloween Candy Wreath

I am a work-at-home mom. So every craft actually takes a portion of my day and I calculate that time. If it isn’t something I am going to add to the website, then I add the hours the craft will take and how much I pay myself per hour (if I was working, over crafting.) If that time investment is too high, I buy. There, I admit it. I, Ashley, the owner of Frugal Coupon Living sometimes shops online more than she creates! I am sure other self-employed moms can relate!

So if making a Halloween Candy Wreath is not for you (maybe more candy would end up in your belly than on your front door), take a look at these places of Where to Buy a Halloween Candy Wreath.

  • Halloween Candy Wreath on Etsy
  • Halloween Candy Wreath on Grandin Road (not edible)

Halloween Candy Wreath Supplies

Halloween Candy Wreath Supplies

I like chocolate, so that was the direction I went for my wreath. Reese’s and KitKats. Yum. I would suggest keeping it inside, because… chocolate + heat = no bueno. You could make your wreath more colorful and incorporate things like Blow-Pops, Skittles, Air Heads, etc. This might be a wreath you can put outside.

For your Halloween Candy Wreath, you need these simple supplies…

  • 12” Cardboard wreath form (3/4” thickness)
  • Snack size KitKats
  • Snack size Reese’s
  • Black 1.5” Grosgrain ribbon
  • Hot glue/hot glue gun
  • Scissors

Frugal Tip: You can also make your wreath form from a cardboard shipping box.


Halloween Candy Wreath Directions

If this is a wreath your family will snack on, don’t make this wreath too far in advanced. Also, if placing the wreath outdoors, find a snack for appropriate weather. For example, chocolate might not be a good choice for Floridians!

First, lay your cardboard wreath flat on a table.

Next, cut fives pieces of ribbon into 12” pieces. Place the ends together and cut at an angle.

How to make a wreath form

Tie the five ribbons on the cardboard wreath in double knots. Space each piece out evenly from the other.

Begin by carefully gluing the Reese’s cups onto the cardboard until the wreath is full. (If you need permission, you may eat one piece of candy as you continue.)

How to Make a Candy Wreath

Next start gluing the KitKat’s on top of the Reese’s cups until your wreath looks full. (That was difficult. You may have two more pieces of candy.)

Lastly, loop a black piece of ribbon through the wreath and tie into a knot to hang on your door.

Mom Hack: All remaining candy is yours. Hide the left over candy in a bag of vegetables or another place the kids won’t touch.

Incredibly easy Witch Hat Halloween Appetizer for a Halloween party or an after school snack for the kids.  Serve with spaghetti on a cool October night!

Witch Hat Halloween Appetizer

One of my first Halloween costumes was a witch. Anyone remember those 80’s costumes? Costumes made entirely out of plastic, often with a face cover that was in no way safe for trick or treating on a dark street.  My Pinterest self cringes thinking back on that costume.  I pretty sure my wig was lopsided the entire evening.

I’m not dressing up as a witch anymore, but I am perfecting a piece of the costume in my kitchen. Make these INCREDIBLY EASY witch hat Halloween appetizers.  Make these for as a Halloween Food Craft for a party or as an after school snack for the kids.

Witch Hat Garlic Bread

Makes 8 servings
Prep time: 5 minutes
Cooke time: 12 minutes

Witch Hat Ingredients:

  • 1 can crescent roll dough
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1 slice cheddar cheese
  • 8 sliced black olives
  • Marinara sauce for serving (optional)


Save this recipe for later. Print your recipe and add it to your recipe box or recipe binder! This is my favorite Recipe Binder – I get tired of printing the same recipe over and over. A binder keeps me organized and gives me a place to store my recipes.

  5. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until hats are golden brown.
  6. Lastly, allow to cool slightly, then place a strip of cheese on each hat above the brim, trimming the cheese to fit the hat. Place an olive slice in the center of the cheese strip to resemble the buckle.The cheese will melt slightly to secure it in place.

Frugal and easy, make this cute bat craft using Halloween Dollar Store Decor and Crafts. This Halloween Preschool Craft involves the magical process of tie dye coffee filters and uses Dollar Tree Craft Supplies.

Dollar Tree Halloween Cute Bat Craft

Dollar Tree Halloween Cute Bat Craft

This year was the year of Dollar Tree Halloween Crafts. We first brought you a tutorial on How to Make a Sugar Skull using Dollar Tree Halloween Decor. Next we taught you how to make your own Halloween Dollar Tree Wreath. Our point, pull out that $20 bill and run to the Dollar Store. Three crafts will give you the ultimate and adorable Easy Halloween Decor for your home.

Dollar Store Halloween Decorations

I am really in love with Dollar Store Halloween Decorations. The Dollar Tree Halloween Shop at DollarTree.com is quite impressive and there are so many items even in the non seasonal decor you could pick up to create the cutest Halloween decorations. That is exactly what we did with our cute bat craft. Using googly eyes, clothes pins, coffee filters and markers, we created a little treasure to be remembered year after year. We share an easy step by step tutorial for coffee filter tie dye using markers, water and you guessed it, coffee filters!

This cute Halloween bat craft for kids is incredibly easy. We think it makes a cute preschool Halloween Craft but I know my elementary aged kids would have fun jumping in the activity too!

Happy Crafting.

Dollar Tree Craft Supplies

Cute Bat Craft Supplies

These clothespin cute bats can be put together in just 20 minutes with materials that you probably already have at home. The tie dye is created with coffee filters and markers, which is a magical process that the kiddos (and adults) will become addicted to! I bet we see you doing this with other Tie Dye Crafts for the Kids (and adults!)

Halloween Bath Craft Tips:

We love stockpiling our craft cabinet with Dollar Tree Arts & Craft Supplies. You also can take a look at their Halloween Decor & Home Decorations.

Dollar Tree Halloween Supplies

  • Dollar Store Clothespins
  • Dollar Store Coffee Filters
  • Dollar Store Wiggle Eyes
  • Dollar Store Washable Markers – we used Black, Blue and Purple
  • Dollar Store Spray Bottle for Water
  • Dollar Store Scissors

Shop the Dollar Tree Halloween Shop at DollarTree.com

Additional Halloween Craft Supplies

  • Liquid Glue with fine tip applicator (see below)
  • Paintbrush
  • Non-Stick Craft Mat or Large Plastic Zip Top Bag
  • Black Cardstock
  • White Gel Pen (see below)
  • Pencil
  • Scrap of Cardboard
  • Acrylic Craft Paint in Black
  • Optional: Black Sharpie Marker

Two items every crafter needs are Gel Pens and Liquid Glue with fine tip applicator! We swear by the Multi-Purpose Tombow MONO Multi Liquid Glue. For this cute bat craft, we used the Sakura White Gelly Roll Pen. It stands bright against the black.



Dollar Tree Halloween Decorations Cute Bat Craft

Preschool Halloween Craft Directions

First, flatten round coffee filters and apply several colors of washable markers in a variety of patterns. We used black, blue and purple markers. Keep in mind, your colors will bleed or make a tie dye pattern so no need to speed to much time on the talent of the coloring.

Next, place your colored coffee filter on craft mat and spritz with water to watch the magic! Set your coffee filters aside to dry.

While you filters are drying, clip the clothespins on a scrap of cardboard and paint all sides with black craft paint and paintbrush. Set aside to dry.

Tip: You can also color your clothespins with black Sharpie marker for an instantly dried body!

When everything is dry, attach wiggle eyes using the fine tip applicator.

Draw mouth and fangs with white gel pen. Set aside to dry.

When your filter is dry, fold dry coffee filter in fourths and cut a scallop edge with scissors to create a bat wing

Next, unfold filter to half and cut a 3” slit up from the scalloped edge.

Lastly, open clothespin and insert your coffee filter wings. Cut ears from black card stock, apply to top of clothespin with liquid glue. Hold tightly in place to stick.

You have created your first bat. Make sure to create a colony of bats this Halloween with the kiddos! It’s fun to hang them and let them float in your child’s room or even at a common place window.

Enjoy and happy crafting!

Of course you can twist it up with changing your beverage to something Root Beer or even Mountain Dew as a base, but you then need to change your face. Maybe to a fun Frankenstein or goofy face.

Ingredients

  • Vanilla ice cream
  • Orange soda
  • Clear drinking cups
  • Permanent marker
  • Straws

If you are decorating your own cups, first prep them. You can do this days before as you do not want a fresh coat of permanent marker when you are serving a cold beverage.

First, using the black permanent marker, draw jack o lantern faces on the cups. (Here are some inspiring Jack-o-Lantern Faces.)

When you are ready to serve, place two scoops of vanilla ice cream in each cup.

Pour refrigerated orange soda over the top of the ice cream until the cup is full.

Serve and enjoy!

Orange Jack-O-Lantern Fruit Cups – Healthy Treat Bowls

Frugal Coupon Living’s Orange Jack-O-Lantern Fruit Bowls Recipe – Orange Pumpkin Cups made with Fruit. A healthy fall treat idea. Serve these Jack o Lantern Oranges at your next Halloween Party! 

Orange Jack-O-Lantern Fruit Cups

Orange Jack-O-Lantern

When it comes to holiday parties, the sugar that often loads the table is a lot. We have some amazing Halloween Food Craft Ideas, but in our most recent recipe, I wanted to provide a healthy snack option.

Have fun with this one and take a twist on the orange. Crave out a Jack O’ Lantern using an orange, hallow out and fill with fruit. It is the perfect healthy treat to a Halloween Class Party or even an afternoon snack.

Jack-O-Lantern Oranges

Just a few simple ingredients make these Jack-O-Lantern Oranges. Fruit and mixed fruit. I really love berries, but it is your choice. If you scoop out the oranges well, you can even use that to toss in your fruit salad!

You will need a sharp knife to help you cut out your face. We loved this highly rated kitchen carving knife (I have this in my home), we also used Kitchen Sheers to cut out some of the shape. If you worry about using a knife or scissors around kids, crate your adorable Jack-O-Lantern Fruit Cup using a Sharpie Maker! We did this with our Orange Jack-O-Lantern Floats.

Jack-O-Lantern Fruit Cups Ingredients

  • 3 Medium Navel Oranges
  • 1 cup Mixed Fruit – Your choice, I prefer berries

Yield: 3 Jack-o-Lanterns. Multiple as needed.


Orange Jack-O-Lantern

How to Make Orange Pumpkin Fruit Cups

This recipe is not too challenging. While the recipe is great for kids, an adult needs to be present for the slicing!

Slice off the tops of the oranges.

Using a spoon, scoop out the pulp and insides of the oranges. You can place those aside for your fruit salad or toss them. They could make some fresh orange juice!

Using a knife, careful cut out faces on each orange to resemble a Jack O Lantern orange.

Fill each orange with mixed fruit and serve.

Orange Pumpkin Fruit Cups Tip: Don’t want to carve with a knife? That is okay. Use a sharpie and draw the face on the front – that works too and is safe for little hands!

Save this recipe for later. Print your recipe and add it to your recipe box or recipe binder! This is my favorite Recipe Binder – I get tired of printing the same recipe over and over. A binder keeps me organized and gives me a place to store my recipes.
