Halloween Candy Corn Memo Holder

Seems like the spiders are bothering my Halloween crafts lately…hmmm… They had got to my pumpkin basket and mummy holder, and now they are irritating my poor candy corn memo holder. See how creepy and eerie my Candy Corn Memo Holder is… oh!!!!

This candy corn memo holder is perfect for desk decor during the creepy October. You can make the mummy pencil holder pair with it and they make a wonderful companion on your desk while you work. Or, as a table number holder or menu holder on your dining table if you are having friends and families coming over for a Halloween dinner or party.

It isn’t hard to make and I have gotten this candy corn idea after drinking from a disposable paper cone cup of a water dispenser machine. While I was drinking, I think: “Can I do anything with this paper cone cup?” The idea struck and so I took some of the clean cone cups and put them inside my bag… shhh… don’t tell the manager that I st*le some cups from him yay… lol… As a reward for not telling him, ahem, here you are, the method to make the Candy Corn Memo Holder made from a paper cone water cups.
