I saw these adorable candy corn branches in Woman’s Day and had to try them out. I thought they would be perfect for our downstairs mantel.

1. First up, you’ll need branches. You can save time by leaving them natural and skip down to the next step. I spray painted mine black, then applied spray adhesive, and sprinkled fine black glitter on top of the adhesive. I truly had pictures of this process but can’t for the life of me find them. Do you ever erase pics accidentally? Oh well. Imagine braches in the dirt outside, spray painted, adhesived, then glittered. Next time I would use the chunky glitter like the buckets below have. The fine doesn’t seem to show up as well on the branches.
