We’re preparing for a big Halloween bash in our house! This year, we’ll be celebrating Tommy’s 1st birthday on Halloween. Halloween parties are my favorite and I’m so excited that this year I have an extra special reason to throw a party. There are so many cool Halloween decorations to use and DIY projects to make. Plus, there’s certainly plenty of great party candy in stores to pick from. I wanted to make a few cute centerpieces for the party tables. I decided on DIY Jack-O-Lantern Candy Bowls. They would go with our Halloween party theme and have yummy treats inside for the guests to enjoy. Between the centerpieces, piñata and goody bags, I knew we’d need a lot of Halloween candy. Then, of course, some for the trick or treaters later on that night! I took a trip to Walmart to grab some of this season’s Large Variety Hershey Candy Bags.

 

These big bags are party perfect. They price is right and there’s a great variety. For the candy bowls, I wanted a lot of Reese’s and Reese’s Pieces so the orange wrappers could create the orange of the pumpkin. After grabbing the candy, I got the other supplies for the candy bowls before heading home to craft.

Now an easy tutorial on how to make your own  

Halloween Jack-O-Lantern Candy Bowls:

 

Supplies:

Directions: 

1. Cut out a jack-o-lantern face from the black felt
