Candy corn stacked shadow box Halloween decoration

September 27, by Stefanie Girard. Leave a Comment

Candy corns are one of my all time favorite decorating themes for Halloween. Do you remember last year’s Candy corn pedestal lights? This year I decided to make stacked shadow boxes painted in each of the colors of a candy corn with Testors spray paint and Craft brush on paint out of recycled photo frames and boxes.

This project is super easy to make. Simply gather up a bunch of old frames and boxes in three sizes along with orange, white, and yellow Testors spray paint and craft paint. I liked working with both as I wanted the variety of shades.

Paint each of the frames in the color the size calls for.

Then to add a bit of sparkle add a coat of Testors Glitter paint and Glitter Sealer.

For the second candy corn I hand painted each frame using Testors Craft paint.

To secure the stacked frames I added a bit of hot glue in between each and then had a ton of fun filling them with all my little Halloween decorations, cookie cutters, skull glasses, etc. I added some printed scrapbook paper to the back of the orange frames and used plain white for the white frames.

I highly recommend this project as it was kind of like setting up and decorating a Christmas tree only with a total Halloween theme!
