Decorating for Halloween is fun! It’s the take-down that is time consuming and boring. I try to decorate with fun, colorful, durable pieces that are easy to put up and pack away. But sometimes, a (mostly) edible centerpiece is a fun decoration, too! I created the Skittles & Starburst Halloween Candy Bouquet as a fun addition to our decorations.
I picked up the Skittles & Starburst 30 Pack from Sam’s Club because the box is so large!
Then I gathered the rest of the necessary supplies. It took me about 30 minutes to make the Halloween candy bouquet.
What You’ll Need:
- Skittles & Starburst 30 Pack from Sam’s Club
- Vase
- Fake Flowers
- Floral Wire Stems
- Packing Tape
- Wire Cutters (to cut the fake flower & floral wire stems)
- Optional: Ribbon
Here’s How:
- Wash the vase.
- Open 2-3 packets of Skittles and fill the vase.
- Using the wire cutters, cut your fake flowers to fit the vase. (I trimmed about 6 inches off the green flowers and cut the purple flowers apart.)
- Take two floral wires (cut them if necessary), place them on the back of your candy packet and tape the wires down with packing tape. (Note: Cut the packing tape in half length-wise so you don’t see it on the Starburst). Repeat as needed.
- Put the flowers and floral wire candies into the vase. Make sure it’s not too top-heavy.
- Optional: Tie a ribbon around the vase.
Seems easy enough, doesn’t it?
I really love how the Halloween Candy Bouquet turned out, but I (almost!) don’t want to eat the candy because I don’t want to break it up! I plan on making one for each of my kids’ teachers, too!
What do you think!? Which candies would you use for the Halloween Candy Bouquet?
Holly says
That’s so cute! I’d pick Skittles and something chocolate.
Nina Say says
So pretty! I adore the purple flowers, they’re my favorite.
Crystal says
That is so cute. I”m not sure how long it would last before little hands started stealing all of the candy, but it’s a worthwhile endeavor.
Andrew @ Mommy's Busy says
I LOVE this! My son has nut allergies so it’s really hard to get lots of chocolate candy for him. So you can imagine how tough Halloween is. But he can have Skittles and Starbursts, and those are actually 2 of his favorite candies!!! Thanks for sharing!
Michelle says
Oh, that is so pretty, I just love the colors! Would make a great Halloween party hostess gift too.
Lynsey @MoscatoMom says
TOTALLY making one of these for Midge’s teacher! Too too cute! Mine would have to have skittles and reeces pieces!
Mickey says
That would be so fun as a centerpiece for a party! I’ll have to try it with lots of orange and black candy for Halloween. 🙂
Cat Davis says
What a fun idea. This would make a great adult Halloween gift for neighbors.

Now there is a bouquet my husband can get me over and over again. I love skittles.
Mimi says
Ok, so I should totally put this bouquet together for my boyfriend. He’s always getting me flowers and I never return the favor. He LOVES Skittles so this would make his day! I love how it turned out!
Amy @GrinningCheektoCheek says
That’s super cute! I don’t think it’d last long around here. But I do love how colorful and cheery it is, yet still halloween-y!
