Candyland Trunk or Treat Ideas
First, for Candyland, I made giant candies from items I found around the house like paper plates, cardboard tubes, toy balls, and pool noodles. I have a separate tutorial for how I made each of these. You can find it here. The game board pieces were made by taping 12X12 pieces of colorful scrapbook paper to a white roll of paper. I bought the white roll of paper at IKEA for just a few dollars.
I covered the trunk with snow covered boxes and made large bouquets of candy in painted terra cotta pots. See the how-to video below for all the candy.
Here is a list of items I bought off Amazon. This list has my affiliate links of the products that I used:
Here is a YouTube video I made of how to make the giant piece of candy! There are five different ideas with tutorials.
Alice in Wonderland Mad Hatter Tea Party
First, I draped the Traverse in greenery and giant flowers from Hobby Lobby. As a result, the greenery really made it look great. Next, I also raided a thrift store and bought mismatched teapots, trays, and cups and saucers. You can find great deals at your local discount stores, including dollar stores. Lastly, I also built a sign post out of scrap wood I had in my garage.
Here is a list of the things I bought on Amazon for this theme. I recommend all of them! These are also affiliate links.
