Here is a fun one to work up. If you’re a speedy crocheter, each candy corn will take you about 15 mins to work up, even if you’re a beginner. The pictures below are creating a Halloween Garland, but single skulls can be used in a variety of ways! Think Halloween Wreath, Gifts, or embellishments to spruce up any Halloween pattern you’re working on! 

Enjoy & happy making!
