Halloween Centerpiece!

Fantabulous Cricut has a challenge this week that I couldn't resist.  I like to make fun centerpieces that can function in some other way. It usually ends up being a centerpiece that doubles as a candy holder!  Here is the halloween centerpiece/candy holder that I created.  The base is a treat box that I bought on clearance at Michaels.  I used orange tissue paper to line it.  Then....

I added candy corn!  Candy corn is my big cupe's (hubby) favorite halloween treat.  So I thought I'd make a cute display for it!  All the cuts are from the Paper Doll Dress Up cartridge.  I love everything about this cart! 

Here is the bat:

the pumpkin:

the ghost:

and the tree:

I made two of every cut and then attached each them to each side of a Halloween pencil (bought a package of them at Target in the dollar section).   I wrapped the bottom of the pencils in saran wrap before I added them to the candy because I wasn't sure if it would be safe to have them touching the candy or not!
Here it is all finished:

 

I think Big Cupe is gonna love it!  Hehe..a bonus..I don't have to worry about Little Cupe getting into the candy because she tried a piece and promptly voice her opinion on candy corn!  She spit it out and said "YUCKY"!  She then spent quite a bit of time telling me that it wasn't candy because it didn't taste good!
