Can you believe that there are just three weeks left until Halloween? Yep! It’s time to bring out some of that Halloween decor. I have decorated for Halloween quite a bit in the past, but things are so busy this year that I am all about keeping it simple. This Halloween chalkboard and candy corn bunting tick off all the boxes – cute, easy, and quick to make!
I’ve never really been into the scary Halloween decorating, but love anything to do with candy corn {except actually eating it – lol!}. This candy corn bunting can be used to decorate a mantle, top off a sign or chalkboard, or add some fun to your Halloween party decor. It’s really quick and inexpensive to make, and you can customize it to whatever length you would like.
MATERIALS
- Cupcake liners. You can either purchase one of each color or use a felt to color in white ones.
- Glue stick.
- Baker’s twine.
- Tape.
INSTRUCTIONS
- You will need a yellow, orange, and white cupcake liner for each candy corn that you would like in your bunting. Start by folding all of your cupcake liners in half.
- For the yellow bottom layer, fold the cupcake liner in half again. Glue the ends together so it doesn’t unfold.
- For the orange middle layer, fold the cupcake liner into thirds. Glue the ends together.
- For the white top layer, fold the cupcake liner in half and then fold in half again. Glue the ends together.
- Insert the yellow liner into one of the inner folds of the orange liner and glue in place.
- Insert the orange liner into one of the inner folds of the white liner and glue in place. You can add some extra glue to any of the folds that seem to be sticking up so the candy corn lies fairly flat.
- Use tape to adhere the baker’s twine to the back of the candy corn and space them out evenly.
Your candy corn bunting is now ready to hang wherever you would like! If you’re going to be using it on a chalkboard like I did, make sure you make at least a couple of the candy corns first so you have an idea how much space you’ll have for the design.
I used a chalk ink wet wipes pen for the design {which is pretty much my go to pen for all of my chalkboard projects} and then shaded a few things in with regular chalk.
Don’t be scared of trying your own chalkboard art. It’s lots of fun and it doesn’t have to be perfect to look good! For more chalkboard tips, read this post for everything you need to know to get started.
Happy Halloween decorating! I should have our Halloween dining room up next week assuming things go as planned!

Such a cute bunting! I like how you used cupcake liners. I hope you will share it at The Crafty Corner link party with us 🙂
Thanks!
How simple and cute! It’s funny. People really do either love or hate candy corn, don’t they? I’m one of the ones that love them, but only so many. . . . . . Love the chalkboard, too!
Oh yes! Candy corn is definitely a polarizing candy! 😉
How clever! I love this is made out of cupcake liners. Super easy to make as well. Thanks so much for sharing this with us on #shinebloghop this week!
I’m not a good hand writer so I’m not sure if I could produce such a nice and sweet chalkboard as yours. Sometimes simplicity makes effective. Yours is enough for the coming Halloween party.
Thanks so much for sharing this cute idea at Inspire Me Monday. I am featuring you this week, I hope you will come by and check it out at Farmhouse 40.
Thanks so much! I hope you had a wonderful Halloween!
