.....still thinking about candy corn. These candy corn cones would make a festive favor --- especially cute sitting in the center of a dinner plate.

Candy Corn Favor Cones Download
Download and print on white card stock. Cut out and place double stick tape on the front side edge. Notice that tape starts all the way on the yellow part and tapers off the paper at the white tip.

Roll up into a cone. Okay, it takes a minute to get the hang of it and you have to be forceful to get it to come together. You will need to trim the tape off at the point. Once you have it rolled into a cone and secured, place tape along the inside edge. Glue could be used or hot glue if you work quickly

Take a strip of tissue paper about 7" wide and 20" long and attach it to the tape. "Ruffle" tissue paper as you attach it to the tape. Overlap ends and secure with just a bit more tape.

Fill with treats and tie off with a bow!

This is so easy to do, but if you don't want to spend the time making a template I have one for you.
Cupcake Wrapper Template Download

All you need is some scrapbooking paper! I did use scalloped scissors to cut across the top to give them a fancy edge. You might need to make slight adjustments for height and length depending on the size of your cupcakes. Fasten the wrappers together with glue stick or hot glue.

Come back tomorrow to for a free digital cupcake wrapper template with some different paper options to drop into the template and print! There will also be a tutorial on how to use the digital template.

Halloween candy bar covers, a simple and fun way to make candy bars festive.
For the mummy, stick two wiggly eyes at the top of the candy bar, wrap white crepe paper party streamer around the candy bar, fasten off with some tape.

For the bat print out template, cut bat out of black construction paper, add eyes, tape ends of candy bar wrapper to the back. Place candy bar inside bat and wrap wings around candy bar and fasten with double stick tape or a glue dot.
