I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Starburst. I received product samples to facilitate my review and a promotional item as a thank you for participating.
Now that it’s Fall, it’s time to decorate the house for the holidays! First comes spooky stuff, then harvest colors and finally a month of the holly jolly, but slow down… I’m just starting level one.
I was inspired to make a Halloween craft with Starburst Candy Corn, and the whole Starburst candy corn crafts idea comes from Tori Spelling, and everyone loves Tori Spelling!
Seriously, the gal is a crafting whiz-bang. Look at her Fall candy craft projects!
Wait, there’s more. She’s outta control with ideas!
So I looked at her wonderful Halloween craft project ideas and decided to make something too: a Halloween mixed media collage of sorts. I don’t know what to call it!
It’s a Halloween shadow box, I guess??
There’s no right and wrong with this craft, so just kinda go where you go with it. I’ll just tell you what I did and you take it from there. 🙂 Be simple, be elaborate, be whimsical, be terrifying… it’s completely up to you.
Craft Supplies:
Wood shadow box
Wood letters (B-O-O)
Spray paint
Miscellaneous Halloween trinkets and decor
Starburst Candy Corn
Hot glue gun & glue sticks
I sprayed the frame and the B-O-O letters with two coats of black spray paint and let them dry completely.
Then I took my sheet of heavyweight scrapbook paper and hot glued it to the center of the frame for a background. I fell in love with this pretty chevron-patterned paper the moment I saw it in the store.
Candy time! Hot glue the candy corn pieces onto the B-O-O letters in any way you’d like. I just glued whatever I grabbed.
Then hot glue those letters onto your paper background. Don’t burn your fingers like I did, mmmkay?
Now it’s time to be creative. Use the hot glue to attach your Halloween embellishments any which-a-way you’d like in, on and around your shadow box display.
I am so in love with this black crow I found. He attaches with a clip to the frame edge, so I can move his perching spot on a whim.
Hang your spooky shadow box on a wall and start the haunting!
Thanks for sharing your decor idea at the Inspire Me Monday link party. I hope you will join us this Monday, September 21, at 9:00 am EST and share more of your links.
What a great idea! Love this for Halloween. Thanks for linking up at the #HomeMattersParty – we hope to see you again next week with some more awesome ideas like this!
Am I insane for already looking up Halloween stuff and it’s only August? It’s my very favorite holiday and I am having my annual Halloween party again this year. I got a great deal on a by one get one shadow box set from Michael’s and I’ve been dying to find a good project for them! Great idea!!
That is so awesome..I myself have never been a crafty person but this I might even be able to handle.
I love Halloween and would love to make one of these for our house. Thanks for the great ideas 🙂
Great job with the shadow box, I’m not sure if I can do candy corn crafts, I’ll be too busy eating the craft materials, lol
I love this – its so cute! And I think Tori Spelling is just adorable!
I’d eat it all up if I made it.
The candy corn idea is so cute for this!! I never would have though to use those for decorating!!
The shadow box is creative but a bit too time consuming for me.
I’ve never seen Candy Corn in different colors before. Man, I sure would know how she loses all that weight after having so many kids.
I am not very crafty but i think this looks like something I could try.
I don’t think I would do one for Halloween but I’ve been interested in trying a shadow box craft for a trip to showcase mementos.
What an amazing job! I will have to do it too, and I would love to see more halloween ideas!
Who knew a person could create such cute projects with candy corn! I like how your shadow box turned out. Very festive.
What a cute idea this looks fun to make my son would love looking at this.
That turned out really cute! Love the chevron background and the little pumpkin in the corner!
I love this shadow box idea. I’m SO not crafty, but this looks very simple and spoooooky! 🙂
i would love to try this.
i would love to try this
I love that this shadow box uses candy corn which is one of my favorite Halloween treats. I may just make this craft…
i love how her dress matches her candy. I love candy corn
Cute. I pinned the picture of the Starburst bursts. So many great fall crafts & this is one of them.
Oh goodness, Liz…this is too cute. I could totally pull something like this off. It doesn’t look too terribly hard..YAY!
I absolutely love this. How cute!
I love these! They are so cute and I love how easy they all are to make. The shadow box is very cute. I would tame it down a little so my daughter wouldn’t freak. LOL
Great crafts!! I love the picture frame, and i have always admired tori spelling, keep the great ideas coming! thanks!
This looks like a fun craft to make and I love decorating for the season.
Great idea and you did a fantastic job on it.
great job… but i would have to do it when broxton was not home… he would not want to waste the candy making a craft, he would want to eat it all (you should see gingerbread houses around here!)
How neat! I’m not very crafty, but I do like to do Halloween crafts.
How simple but fun! I love how bright it is despite being spooky 🙂
That is such a cute craft! Although I don’t know if i could stand to not eat them all before I finish the craft. lol.
I love that! I never would have thought to use the candy corn in such a creative way! It came out awesome!
You did an outstanding job and must be super crafty! I can only imagine how awkward my shadow box would be.
Oooh, I love the idea of doing a Halloween shadowbox! And those Starburst candy corn are perfect for crafting! love their colors.
OH MY GOODNESS – this turned out sooooo welll! I would have never thought to use the candy, but it gives it such a nice pop! LOVE!!!
Who knew you could do so much with candy? I love the Starburst crafts.
fun! I want to make something like this for Thanksgiving or Christmas. Now just to find the time…oy!
Oh my gosh I love the shadow box so cute!! I am gonna have to get supplies and make this! SO creative!
That’s a really cute idea! The only thing I would worry about is attracting bugs.
That is an adorable craft!!
What a great craft with the candy corn.
I like the shadow box. I especially love the chevron paper, it’s just cool.
This is such a cute craft girl!!!
This is so cute!!
That is so adorable – I love it!
Wow… I absolutely love this. I am gonna pin it to my Halloween board on Pinterest! Thanks for sharing. 🙂
How cute is that!! I love Halloween decorations!!
This is so cute!! Now I want to buy some more and try making a framed decoration too!
Wow, super cute!
I am lousy at just making something like that on a whim, I should look at Tori’s ideas cause I couldn’t come up with something, like you did 🙂
those look like good candy, I never liked candy corn either, but like starburst 🙂
Liz, that is pretty darn cool! You know, if I still ate candy, I would be tempted to eat Starburst Candy Corn. Seriously, I never liked Candy Corn but man that sound good!
How incredibly cute! Wish I could come up with ideas like this on my own. Oh well. Thank God for Pinterest. 😉
Your craft looks really cute! I love how colorful their candy corn is!
I LOVE Halloween, and I’ll be DIY’ing some crafts and decorations later this month. THank you for sharing some more inspiration xx
What a great and fun idea it is . I’d visit you and snatch all the candies , may I ? lol
That turned out really cute! I love that you used candy corn to decorate with!
I love your craft better! lol The eyes, rose and bird all add that extra touch!
I love LOVE the shadow box!!!
Now that is cute! I love it! I didn’t know Tori was so crafty either!
This looks so cool! These googly eyeballs look creepy but they are awesomeness! 😀
I love seeing all of these creative ideas for Halloween crafts. You did a great job. Happy Halloween!
I love that Liz, you did a fantastic job! The googly eyeballs are my favorite part.
Wow! This is a cool Halloween decor! Love her idea on using candy corn.
Wow! This is really cool and creative! But won’t it attract bugs?
Wow you are pretty crafty yourself! Who would have thought that you could make so many cute things with candy corn!
I love how this turned out Liz!
This is such a perfect Halloween decoration and it’s candy! I love it!
I’m really loving all these ideas – however I just want to try the candy 😉
I love the shades of these Starburst candy corns. If I can keep my daughter from chowing them down i might be able to make something too 🙂
That is super cute!! Those starburst candies look pretty dang good too!
This is downright adorable!! My kiddos would love to make this!!
I am absolutely loving how you did your own thing here, and it turned out so darn cute!
Why waste candy on a craft to put on your walls, wouldn’t that attract ants? We live in the country and have lots of bugs, so I am very careful about leaving stuff out like this.
I think it is super cute though.
I see it says you are a coastal NC blogger. I was raised on the coast and still reside in NC!
How cute and creative! How much candy did you eat while making it? 🙂
How cute is that!? And who knew Tori was such a crafter? I had no idea. I just thought her only talent was looking pretty for the cameras lol.
That is a very nice craft for halloween
That is so incredibly cute, who would have thought you could craft with candy corn? I’m normally not a fan of candy corn, but if it’s made by starburst, I might just eat it. I’ll look for it in stores.
LOL…cute! I wish I was “crafty” I know It may seem to others like it is easy, but I am all thumbs with crafts….gimme plants and I got the green thumb.
OMG!! I had no idea those existed! I need to find them now! Thanks for sharing!
I actually just saw those Starburst Candy Corn when I was walking around Target yesterday and immediately thought ‘Ew!’ Now that I know they taste nothing like candy corn, I may definitely have to give them a try 🙂
This Halloween craft is super cute and really easy to do! I love me a good Halloween craft; the more Halloween decorations, the better is my opinion.
OMG, that is really awesome and creative!
It turned out so super cute!
That’s so cute! Great craft! I love stuff that’s not too hard to make and looks great!
Cute ideas for Halloween. They all look really simple too I may have to try the last one
That’s so cute!
That turned out great! I so wasn’t crafty when I was coming up with the idea. I like the candy corn. It’s starburst without sticking to my teeth!
I LOVE this! And I love your imagination!! I also want that candy corn!
That turned out really good! I like the addition of the crow, I find them to be somewhat creepy.
Fun!! Would never think to use candy in a craft, but really looks great!!
ha…all new level of playing with your food….those starburst circles wh made are cool….
Wow. I never thoughy to use candy corn for decor. Super cute for Halloween
I’ve never watched the show but I’m surprised that she’s so crafty. I wouldn’t have thought it. I love her stuff and yours is great too. I’m no good at crafts though although I want to start doing a bit more with the kids.
I love crafting with candy! These are so cute, and I am pinning them now!
Very festive, I like it!
The eyeballs are a nice touch, they made me laugh. There’s not any one thing that ‘makes it’ though, it’s all cute. 🙂
Well aren’t you just the crafty one!! How cute your Boo turned out. I have been following Tori for awhile now and she is always krafting in her kitchen… You would think with all her money, she would have a crafting studio. But I think I like her more because she is so down to earth.
I don’t know if I would have enough candy corns left to complete the craft, but it came out awesome.
That is SO cute! I need to make that!!
This is so cool. I’ve seen so may blogs that have done edible things with the Starburst Candy Corn but never a craft yet. Coolest thing ever.
That is SUPER duper cute!
OMG!! That’s totally cute, Liz!
It’s cute! I never would thought of Tori as a crafter.
I love the crow. I’d end up trying to eat the candy and then hot gluing it to my tongue.
It would not be pretty
I would never have thought to glue candy corn to a Styrofoam ball!
Look at you all crafty, that turned out cute! I’m sure Tori would be proud. 🙂
