Frugal Halloween Wreaths

I’m sure many of you have great frugal ideas for Halloween or Fall decor.  When it comes to wreaths, I feel like I have almost done it all…and then someone comes up with another cute idea.  I love this one because it is truly CHEAP and EASY!  No sewing, no gluing, no experience with floral arrangements!

Head to Something To Do to see the instructions on how to make this Tulle Halloween Wreath.  I bought black tulle recently at JoAnn and the normal price was just $1.99/yd.  Take your 50% off coupon with you and only pay $.99/yard!  Since my door is black, I think I will do it in orange tulle with a white ribbon and then either add black or white (or both) felt polka dots to it! (Thanks, Moms By Heart)

You could also make one with Halloween-looking fabrics for a more folksy look, like this one from A Little Bit of Everything.  Or, use ribbon like The Long Thread did.

If you have some frugal fall decorating ideas, send them over and maybe I’ll just showcase one!

Pumpkin Carving Tip!

Pin to Pinterest

Take a look at this Pumpkin Carving Tip. Did you know you can extend the life of your pumpkin with a few simple steps?

Jack-o’Lantern Preservation Steps:

  1. Hallow out your pumpkin making sure to remove as much of the stringy fibers and sizes on the inside as possible. A spoon helps well with this.
  2. Rinse your pumpkin out with water
  3. Carve your pumpkin
  4. In a 5 gallon bucket, mix 1 gallon part water to 3 teaspoons bleach. I recommend 3 gal to 1 tsp.’
  5. Dip your jack-o’-lantern in the solution for a full 2 to 3 minutes – your pumpkin will float, so be sure to dip it additionally with your hands to get it covered in solution.
  6. Dry off your pumpkin as much as possible to prevent rot.

This is great if you want to carve a pumpkin early.

Edible Halloween Candy Wreath Craft

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.

Print Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 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)

Instructions

  1. First, preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Next, unroll crescent roll dough and separate into 8 triangles.
  3. Place the triangles on an ungreased baking sheet ( I like using a silicon baking mat.) Brush the triangles with melted butter, then sprinkle with garlic powder and dried parsley. Fold the straight end of each triangle over to resemble the brim of the witch hat.
  4. While the hats are baking, cut the slice of cheese into eight thin strips.
  5. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until hats are golden brown.

Witch Hat Appetizer Directions:

First, preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Next, unroll crescent roll dough and separate into 8 triangles.

Place the triangles on an ungreased baking sheet ( I like using a silicon baking mat.) Brush the triangles with melted butter, then sprinkle with garlic powder and dried parsley. Fold the straight end of each triangle over to resemble the brim of the witch hat.

While the hats are baking, cut the slice of cheese into eight thin strips.
