Most candy corn Halloween crafts won't last forever, but they will make a great decoration or useful craft for the entire Halloween season. Check out these ideas for fun and creative Halloween crafts using candy corn.

Candy Corn Photo Frame. Cardboard or chipboard photo frames are an inexpensive purchase at a variety of craft supply stores. Use these inexpensive frames to create a great Halloween craft using candy corn. Using a hot glue gun or strong glue stick simply glue candy corn pieces all around the edge of the frame. The candy corn looks best if you alternate directions with the wide side up, then the wide side down, etc. Set the design with a little sealant if desired and you have a delightful candy corn Halloween craft.

Candy Corn Garland. While this craft takes a little work, the adorable results are worth it! Thread a length of fishing line through a sharp needle. Next, thread candy corn pieces through the wide end with the pieces laying flat. Leave about an inch between each piece. Once your have completed your length of fishing line you will have a super cute candy corn garland perfect for your Halloween decorating.

Candy Corn Barrettes. If you have a little girl in your life, these candy corn barrettes are a must Halloween craft. Simply take a flat barrette and glue several candy corn pieces in a row to the barrette using hot glue. When the hot glue has dried, cover the candy corn pieces in a jewelry sealant such as Triple Thick by DecoArt. These adorable barrettes will last all season and will accent any outfit with Halloween fun.

Candy Corn Gel Air Fresheners. Craft stores offer a great gel medium that can be poured into various containers with scented oils to make air fresheners. Candy corn is a great embellishment to add to this gel to create a super cute Halloween craft. Just float the candy corn pieces in the gel medium as it is poured into a variety of clear containers. Let the gel set and you have festive candy corn air fresheners for your home. You may even be able to find candy corn scented oils to add to your creation.

Just purchase a roll of magnets, or small dot magnets, from your local craft store. Cut the magnets into squares if necessary and use a hot glue gun to add candy corn pieces to the magnets. Use a jewelry sealant once again to seal the magnets and make them last throughout the season (or maybe longer). Use this Halloween candy corn craft to cover your refrigerator in Halloween fun.
