My awesome mother-in-law sent me a package last week with supplies to make a Halloween wreath. She must have been thinking about how much Eric loves candy corn and how much I love crafts because this wreath has the best of both worlds! If you like it, I'd be more than happy to tell you how to make one of your own!

You'd be surprised at how long it takes to glue the candy corn onto the wreath. Luckily, I am still in my last week of freedom before work so I got started right away. After many hours, here is the finished product:

When Eric saw a picture with only the candy corn, he wasn't too impressed. He thought the wreath needed a little something extra to make it complete. We went to the store and found this little bear. I think he is the cutest little thing (his outfit says BOO)!

I'm glad I got to do this project because our Halloween decor is a little meager. We don't have a door hanger yet, so for now our new wreath has a home on our fireplace.

I love it! What a cute bow, espcially with the candy corn. And the bear is perfect. Great final touch. It's better displayed inside. I find candy corn on the porch every day...too much sun?? I guess...Love you guys
