Attach to gifts using yarn, twine, or string, adding a festive touch to any present.

Candy Corn Planter

Supplies: Empty tin can, spray paint, candy corn-shaped stickers or cut-outs, and paintbrush (if using cut-outs).

Steps: Clean and remove labels from the tin can. If using stickers, apply them to the can and let dry. If cutting out shapes, paint the can yellow, let dry, then attach the candy corn shapes using a paintbrush and a bit of glue. Once dry, fill with soil and plant your favorite fall flowers, adding a pop of color to your Halloween decor.

Candy Corn Soap

Supplies: Melt-and-pour soap base, candy corn molds, coloring agent (like soap dye or pigment powder), and measuring cup.

Steps: Cut the soap base into small chunks and melt in a double boiler or microwave. Add coloring to create the tri-color effect, pouring each color into the mold in layers. Allow the soap to set completely before removing from the mold, revealing a delightful candy corn-themed treat for hands and faces.
