When I set out to plan my own Halloween decorations, I knew I wanted my home to be a place where trick-or-treaters of all ages felt welcome and delighted. That's when I stumbled upon the idea that would become my jumping off point — a candy themed garland and wreath design that incorporated fun elements such as candy corn sprays, lollipops and cookie style bats. This design is bright and colorful and I knew it would make quite a statement from the street.

Breaking Down the Design - Crafting a Candy-Coated Welcome

After choosing our sweet and not-so-scary halloween decorations diy outdoor, here’s how we brought this delightful design to life. Get ready for the most simple step-by-step breakdown of how to transform your front door into a candy-coated welcome that'll have everyone buzzing with excitement.

Step 1: Illuminate with Extra Lights

One thing you absolutely can't skimp on when crafting your Halloween masterpiece is the lighting. After all, you want your candy-themed wonderland to shine bright for all to see, especially from the street.

For my design, I knew I needed to include my all-time favorite cluster lights, which provide a warm and inviting glow. To add a playful pop of color, I chose a strand of orange G12 lights to incorporate as well. The combination of these two types of lights created a magical ambiance that made my candy decorations truly come to life. With the lights and garland artfully draped around your door frame, your candy-themed decor will be the talk of the neighborhood!

Step 2: Get Crafty with Ribbon Bows and Colorful Accents

To make your candy-themed Halloween decoration for door even more enchanting, it's time to bring in some ribbon bows and colorful accents. I opted to place the bows in both the corners and midway down the sides of my garland. Adding these easy-to-create elements added a touch of whimsy and elegance to the overall look. If you need help crafting these simple wreath bows, check out our tutorial here.

But why stop at just bows? To infuse even more color into the design, I sprinkled in small one-loop bows between the larger ones. These bursts of color acted like sprinkles on a cupcake, adding a coheslive element to the entire feel of the accent.

Step 3: Craft Your Garland By Breaking it Down into Sections

Now that we've set the stage with lights and bows, it's time to focus on the rest of our candy-themed front door decor. To keep things organized and visually striking, we recommend planning out one section of the garland and then repeating the look you create throughout.

For this design I knew that I wanted the candy elements incorporated throughout so for each smaller section, I was sure to include a candy corn spray, bat spray, lollipop, black poinsettia, and 2 ornaments - a black shatterproof ball and orange polka dot ball. I used the black incense spray cut into 2 pieces to fill in where there were holes. We recommend looking throughout DW’s Halloween decorations to find the elements you love!

This garland can be broken down into 5 sections - two sections on each side and one long section across the top; this look consists of 2 - 9’ garlands around the doorframe.

Step 4. Hanging Garland Around Your Doorframe Like a Pro

To effortlessly adorn your doorframe with the candy-themed garland, begin by securing small mortar screws at the top corners and midway down each side. These screws will serve as anchor points. Then, drape your garland along the doorframe, using the PVC branches to wrap securely around the screws.

Fasten it in place with floral wire, ensuring a snug hold. Afterward, step back to assess the placement, making necessary adjustments for even distribution.

This method guarantees that your garland remains intact and lush, creating a welcoming, candy-coated Halloween decoration for your door that will captivate all passersby.

Step 5: Crafting a Beautiful Front Door Wreath

Crafting a captivating front door wreath is a breeze.

• Start with a natural grapevine wreath as your base, securing any Halloween-themed sign with floral wire as the centerpiece.
• Create a base layer using three airy black incense sprays for depth. Incorporate two candy corn sprays facing opposite directions, leaving space in between for a playful bow made from your chosen ribbon.
• Next, you will add in a poinsettia stem, being sure to use a dab of hot glue at the base of the stem to secure any floral stems or sprays.
• After that, I attached the fun lollipop pick, cutting the stem down some to keep it from coming out the other side.
• Finally, add a bright and colorful bow and the "The neighbors have the good candy" sign, placing it at the designated gap between the candy corn sprays.

This delightful wreath will perfectly accentuate your candy-themed decor and welcome guests with a burst of Halloween charm.

Step 6: Adding the Finishing Touches to Your Halloween Decoration for Door

We've almost reached the sweet finale of our candy-themed Halloween decor journey. Now, it's time to add those enchanting finishing touches that will make your front door decor truly irresistible.

Curate your planters with vibrant seasonal flowers in hues that tie into your candy-themed palette. These blooms will add an extra pop of color and festive flair to your entryway. Also a collection of different sized pumpkins from your local nursery is also a festive way to bring in the season. This little bat spray added to my planter box makes my heart happy!
