This is a Fashionista Event and a promotional item was provided to me by Sweetworks. Hosts for this event are Still Blonde after all these Years and ModlyChic.
Halloween is by far my favorite holiday because I just love getting dressed up and making Halloween projects like my Pumpkin Pillow and this DIY Family Sign for the front door. Today I am working on a Halloween Candy Center Piece made out of candy!
Tools & Supplies
Spooky Eyes Gumballs 8oz Peg Bag (1 bag)
Halloween Mix Gumballs 8oz Peg Bag (2 bags)
Autumn Mix Sixlets 14oz Peg Bag (2 bags)
Halloween Mix Sixlets 14oz Peg Bag (2 bags)
Autumn Mix Pearls 1.75oz Peg Bag (2 bags)
Halloween Mix Pearls 1.75oz Peg Bag (2 bags)
4 Small Pumpkins
2 Large Pumpkins
Anchor Hocking Cracker Jar with Lid
Large Baking Cups Black & White Polka Dots
Super Glue Gun
Large Oranges
Instructions
1. Put all the chocolate candy in the fridge until you are ready to work with it. Take 1 bag out at a time.
2. Figure out which side of the orange is the most stable so that the orange will stand up right on it’s own. Heat up the glue gun and put the glue on the orange in small about 1 inch by 1 inch patches. Push Sixlets into the glue all around the orange except on the bottom. PRO TIP: Wait a few seconds before putting the Sixlets into glue so that you don’t hurt your fingers like I did the first time.
3. The next orange I made was a Jack-O-Lantern. I glued the majority of the orange Sixlets on one side first, then I used a Sharpie to draw the Jack-O-Lantern face. Glue the black candy and the orange candy on together with the face.
4. Fill the Anchor Hocking Cracker Jar with Lid with 4 small fake pumpkins. Then, pour 2 bags of Autumn Mix Sixlets into the jar and cover.
5. Fill up the Large Baking Cups Black & White Polka Dots with the Spooky Eyes Gumballs, Halloween Mix Gumballs, Halloween Mix Sixlets, Halloween Mix Pearls, and Autumn Mix Pearls.

LOVE your ideas! I never would have thought to use an orange as a base. Thanks for sharing! Pinned it!
Thanks! I really was at a loss for a while and then saw them in the store and had a moment of inspiration.

So many sixlets sacrificed to the beauty of your centerpiece. I think we should all now bow our heads for their loss.

As long as you could eat the orange when you were all done that would be cool

Sixlets are my most favorite candy ever!!!
I’ve always loved jawbreakers. The flavor of them, but moreso the sinful feeling of knowing how terrible they are for my teeth & eating them anyway! I’m going to order the Spooky Eyes Bag to hand out this year, but hopefully I don’t eat them all before then LOL. I haven’t seen these in store so having something different is nice, ya know? Thank you for hosting this giveaway & good luck to all!~
