DIY Halloween Candy Displays with Pumpkin Peeps
My (Crissy) favorite part of Fall is to take the children to Schnepf Farms! It is a whole day event that includes pumpkin patch, hay rides, pig races, petting Zoo, corn maze, yummy food, bonfire, marshmallows roasting and fireworks - So fun!!
Since we love pumpkin patch so much, I created our own Halloween Peeps Pumpkin Patches! Super easy and fun to make! Enjoy!
DIY Halloween Candy Displays with Pumpkin Peeps
* Pumpkin Peeps and green licorice
* Empty tin cans or cereal box (I used the Wheat Thins box)
* Round and rectangular Styrofoam blocks or floral foam blocks
* Glue Gun
* Twine or ribbons
* Toothpicks
* Picked fence (I bough mine at Hobby Lobby)
* Patterned Scrapbook Papers to cover the Styrofoam and box
* Extra orange sprinkles(optional)
To assemble the pumpkins:
I used extra orange sprinkles to cover the sides and bottom of the pumpkins. Cut a small piece of green licorice, add to the top of your pumpkin (for the stem) and insert a toothpick to the bottom of the pumpkin.
If you follow me over at Crissy's Crafts, you know by now that I am all about easy, inexpensive crafts and favors. To turn your store bought Peeps into spooktacular treats, presentation is the key! So I have two ways in which you can display these cute pumpkins:
1) DIY Pumpkin Patch with Mini Bunting:
Cover the Styrofoam with crepe paper, add your bunting, pumpkins and fence. If you don't have a fence, you can easily make one using white card stock or even flat Popsicle sticks. Complete the look by adding some cute ribbon around the Styrofoam There! Your own Pumpkin Patch - Great as table centerpiece or Halloween desserts table candy display!! :)
2) DIY Pumpkin Patch made from a Cereal Box:
Once all your pumpkins are assembled, insert them to into the Styrofoam Decorate your "patch" with labels, twine/ribbons and "grass" (paper fringe) - Great as a Halloween candy display but also as a fun party favor or teacher's gift, not to mention it will be a huge hit with your little monsters!!
