Supplies:
- Clear plastic plates
- Candy
- Tape
- Plastic table covers
- Craft foam
- Ribbons
- Fall floral pick
- Hot glue
- Optional: purple glitter
Instructions:
Begin by placing candy on top of one clear plate. The clear plastic plates are a little thicker than paper plates, making them a little more sturdy. However, paper plates could be used too.
Next, tape the edges of the plates together, securing the candy inside of the plates. The reason why I didn’t hot glue the plates together is because I wanted the candy to be easy to get to. The tape comes off the plates very easily!
Cover the witch candy plate with a green table cover. Secure the cover in place with a large purple bow. Cut off the excess plastic table cover.
Create a hat using craft foam. I embellished my hat with a green ribbon and yellow foam square. Have fun with how you decorate your witch Halloween candy plate! Finally, I put a dot of hot glue covered with purple glitter on it to make a silly purple wart (like I also did here on my Tea Light Witch).
To make a pumpkin, cover the candy plates with an orange table cover. Secure the table cover in place with fall colored ribbon. Cut the excess plastic table cover off. Place some leaves from a floral pick into the pumpkin’s stems.
Create the pumpkin’s face using craft foam. You can make a scary face or a happy face. No two pumpkins are alike!
