Candy Corn Cuteness!

This is a ca-ute jar I made for my beloved candy corn last year!
I LOVE THIS!

I love candy corn. 

Like really really A LOT. 

Like probably will gain 10 lbs after Halloween a lot! 

{Darn candy corn}

I've always liked it, but, it seems like the older I'm getting. I'm liking it even more! I've already bought 5 bags...but it's to fill my cute pedestal canisters and....OK, no excuses...I just plain love the stuff!

Although I did do something pretty darn cute with it. 

Hence today's tutorial.

See! Told you, isn't it CA-UTE!

YOU NEED:

-Jar

-Ribbon

-Stickers or vinyl

I got my jar at the DI, (thrift store) for $.75

I picked up the stickers at Hobby Lobby and used a 40% off coupon they were $1.50

The ribbon I had from my potty prize jar, but I found the Halloween one at the dollar store and you can pick up the other ones at Walmart for .$47 a spool!

Fill your cute jar with candy corn and then eat a couple pieces,

next you start tying on the ribbon around the rim of the jar...then eat a couple more pieces. 

Find out how I did this HERE 

Once you are all finished, stick the stickers or vinyl on the jar- WALAH!

You are done!

Uh...Love it!

Now...this one is Decoration Only...meaning... NO EATING IT! 

That's why I have three canisters to munch on!

Halloween Yummies

Wow....It has been a while.

 

  We've moved, most of our things are in storage and we are hoping to start building our new home next month.

  We are staying with my parents, which has been a HUGE blessing since I have to take it very easy, (pretty much bed rest) until our little guy is born in the middle of next month.

   I tell ya, I NEVER have easy pregnancies.

  I guess it just makes me appreciate this miracle a little more!

  So, I haven't been crafting, or cooking.

  My sweet Mom is running the show. Taking good care of all of us! I sure love her!

 

OK...so enough about me. I'm wanting to do some re-posting from last year.... first one up....

Who wants a MUMMY DOG?  Maybe a  TATER BUG?
Not real ones silly...Yummy ones!

Every year since My Pretty Princess started kindergarten it has become a tradition that we we make one Halloween inspired treat/dinner a week.

So... Yesterday we made Mummy Dogs and Tater Bugs!  

Want to make your own? You do? 

Well then, let me tell you how I made mine!

MUMMY DOGS:

-1 package hot dogs

-8 Pillsbury bread sticks...(or make your own)

-mustard

-2 pepper dots

Bake at 450 degrees for 10 minutes. Make eyes with dots of mustard and put the dots of pepper in the center.

TATER BUGS:

-tater tots

-uncooked spaghetti

-carrot sticks

-broccoli

-olives(optional)

-sour cream (optional)

Bake Tater tots at 450 degrees for 5 minutes. Take out then use piece of the spaghetti to connect 3 Taters together. Bake for 7 minutes more. Julianne some carrots (or you can buy the matchstick kind} Stick two on each side of the bug to make legs. Stick tiny broccoli florets in for the antennae. You can use a little dot of sour cream and cut up tiny olives for the eyes if you want.

Bake for 5 minutes

I used baby carrots and sliced them, broccoli, dried spaghetti

"Thread" three Taters onto the spaghetti

 This is what they will look like when you put them in to bake for the remaining 7 minutes.

When they come out of the oven, stick the carrots (legs) into the sides. I cut two little slits into the tops for the antennae. Then stuck the broccoli in. The spaghetti cooks and helps hold it together so you get to eat the whole thing!

Cute little buggers...

Pretty Princess and her friends gobbled them up!  They loved 'em!  Now go make you some Halloween'y yummy fun-ness1 (Yep, I just made up my own word...I'm good at that!)
