How to make recycled bottle candy corn Halloween lights

August 30, by Stefanie Girard. 2 Comments

Halloween candy corn lights recycled

Candy corns are one of my absolute favorite Halloween themes. I had so much fun making my airbrushed solar lights I thought I’d try making candy corn shaped lights for this Halloween.

So off to the dollar store to see if I could score a clear plastic bottle that was “candy corn” shaped. I was pretty sure I could find one there. Success!!!

I got 3 bottles as I wanted to make a set. I washed the mouthwash bottles out and cleaned the label off.

I used my Testors AirBrainz Airbrush and Mini Powairpod AirBrainz Air Compressor to

paint the stripes of the candy corn on the mouthwash bottle. I did the white first, then yellow and then finally the middle orange -light to dark with Testors Acrylic paint.

Lastly I cut holes in the bottle of the bottles to fit the little battery-powered flicker lights with a Dremel Rotary Tool. It might be a good idea to do this step before if you are worried about scratching the paint. I traced the flicker light on the bottom with a Sharpie to make sure I got the size right.

To attach them to the candle sticks I cut a small piece of recycled cereal box the shape of the plastic bottle and used glue dots to attach the cardboard to the candle stick and the tea light to the cardboard. The Candy corn bottles simply slipped over the lights.

Oh and I did add the black ribbon bows for a final touch.

Happy Halloween!
