Starburst Candy CornI participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Starburst. I received product samples to facilitate my review and promotional item as a thank you for participating

Now that we have a house made for entertaining, we have been planing a lot of get togethers.  One even that I am really getting excited for is Halloween!  Our neighborhood rocks so this year we are hosting Halloween at our house with our friends and family.  I can’t tell you how excited I am to have a house where I can decorate for the holiday and season.  I knew I wanted to do something quirky and fun.  I turned to Tori Spelling for some fun ideas using Starburst Candy Corn.

Tori created these very large, beautiful Mum Balls:

I loved the idea of using these fall, festive balls in my mantle piece.  I created my own version using much smaller balls for a more manageable mum ball.  These would be perfect for use for any fall decor or halloween display.

Most of the craft projects I take on are fairly simple, this is no exception.  The hardest part of this craft is sorting the candy corn into colors and plugging in the glue gun.

Halloween craftStep 1

Sort the candy corns into separate color piles and plug in your glue gun (now you have the hardest part done).  *note: I used 2 inch craft balls so they were pretty small.  If you are using any larger of a ball you might want to cut off a little bit from the bottom to create a flat surface for the mum ball to stand on.

Step 2

Starting a little bit below the half way line around your styrofoam ball, place a dot of glue.  Press your first colored Candy Corn piece into the glue with the pointy end out.

Step 3

Continue and repeat step 2 until the entire sphere is covered with the candy corn.  I liked going with the darkest color on the bottom and ending up with the lightest color on top.
