  • Boo!

  • In today's video we'll be making awesome Halloween costumes out of candy.

  • Yep that's right!

  • I'm going to show you more than 15 DIY ideas using real candy. Yummy!

  • Hi guys!

  • It's almost that time of the year when we get to dress up in epic costumes, eat loads

  • of candy and just have fun with friends and family.

  • That's right - Halloween is coming up pretty fast and I hope you are ready to make the

  • coolest and definitely the sweetest DIY costumes ever!

  • I'm going to show how to make awesome Halloween costumes out of candy!

  • These are all very easy to make, super affordable and they look fantastic!

  • OK so, go grab some snacks, because these DIYs may make you hungry, and let's get started!

  • First off, we are making a costume using yummy, puffy, delicious marshmallows!!

  • I'll show you 4 easy diys that can be put together into this adorable marshmallow princess.

  • This one is so pastely, sweet and beautiful – perfect for all the girly girls out there.

  • To start up this costume we're going to make a marshmallow choker necklace.

  • Take the marshmallows of your choice.

  • These fruity ones are so yummy plus they look so cute, don't they?!

  • Making a marshmallow necklace is super easy.

  • Take a piece of a thread and a needle and simply push the needle through the marshmallow.

  • I like to alternate the shapes and colors of marshmallows as I go to make the necklace

  • colorful and interesting.

  • I want to make the necklace long enough so I can wrap it around my neck two times and

  • wear it as a choker.

  • This should be enough, so I can snip away the needle and the first DIY for our marshmallow

  • costume is finished! It looks so pretty and delicious.

  • Smells like heaven too.

  • Let's continue with a couple of more DIY marshmallow accessories.

  • One of them is a marshmallow ring.

  • Take an inexpensive ring that you don't wear anymore.

  • Try to find one that is quite large.

  • Apply some hot glue or any other glue on the front like this.

  • Grab a marshmallow and stick it on.

  • I went for this giant white one and then I'll stick a colored marshmallow on top.

  • It's like I'm being a jewelry designer with candy - I love it , No but seriously, I'm

  • very impressed with how lovely this ring turned out.

  • I would totally say yes.

  • We gotta make our hair all princessy as well, so here's how to make a pretty marshmallow

  • hair clip or a tiara.

  • Take a plain hair clip, or just tear off any unnecessary decor to make it plain and flat.

  • Apply a stripe of glue and choose marshmallows of your choice to decorate it.

  • I started with a big white marshmallow, and a yellow rounded one to stick it on the side.

  • The clue is to make your hair decor as big as possible.

  • Therefore I'm adding another layer of yummy goodness to my clip – it's Halloween after all!

  • A strawberry and a candy swirl make this giant clip even more awesome! Love it!

  • Every princess needs a magic wand, am I right?

  • Not really - a magic wand is actually more like a fairy thing, but it doesn't matter.

  • Just take a wooden kebab stick and stab on one or two marshmallow pieces.

  • There we go - a magic wand done in seconds.

  • The biggest statement piece of this outfit is definitely the beautiful tutu.

  • It's what makes the costume so girly and princessy.

  • A tutu is actually super easy to DIY and I'll show you how to make it from scratch.

  • First you will need some tulle fabric in any color. I picked a plain white one.

  • I cut my tulle into a bunch of 10 by 70 inch strips.

  • Fold a tulle piece in half like this and loop the strip of tulle around the waistband elastic.

  • Stick the tulle ends through the loop and pull to tighten.

  • Keep adding tulle until you covered enough of the elastic to fit your waist.

  • I like to add more layers of tulle to make the tutu really full and opaque.

  • Alright so our tutu is done and you can totally stop here.

  • But since we are making a marshmallow princess costume I decided to glue a bunch of marshmallows

  • allover this tutu.

  • I am using hot glue to attach it to the skirt but any kind of glue with a good hold will

  • work for this.

  • This was my first time dIY-ing a tutu and I really loved how easy and quick this was to make.

  • It goes perfectly with so many different costumes, especially since you can get tulle in different

  • colors – like rainbow or even black. That would look so epic!

  • Here comes my last marshmallow and my tutu is all finished!!

  • How flipping gorgeous!

  • OK before dressing up I decided to paint my nails using five different pastel colors,

  • which go perfectly with this whole marshmallow princess vibe.

  • And a little tip – to make your pastel polish opaque, start applying a white polish as a base.

  • It works wonders!

  • Alright! Here are all the costume pieces that we've created so let's quickly put them on.

  • Tie the tutu at the back by making a pretty bow.

  • Wrap the necklace around two times to wear it as a choker or simply put it on as a one

  • long layer. Here comes the yummy ring.

  • For the hair decor I also made a tiara besides the hair clip and I decided to go for the

  • tiara in the end.

  • I made it in the same way as a hair clip – just glued the marshmallows on the plastic headband.

  • For the makeup I decided to keep with the soft and pastel tones.

  • I'm applying some light pink as a wash of color allover my eyelids.

  • A white eyeliner goes along my waterline to make the eyes bright and more doll like.

  • We also need to give a little rosy flush to our cheeks so I'm using a big fluffy brush

  • to pop on some light pink blush.

  • To finish up the look grab the lightest and most pastely looking lipstick from your collection

  • and smear it allover those lips.

  • That's it!

  • Our makeup, nails and costume are ready and looking gorgeous!

  • As you can see I put on a soft pink sweater and some white tights.

  • I love everything about this costume!

  • I think it looks so beautiful, it's super easy to put together plus it's very affordable.

  • Marshmallows are inexpensive and tulle is one of the most affordable fabrics too.

  • I am not much of a girly girl in real life but I just loved dressing up as a marshmallow

  • princess for a day when we were filming this.

  • Next up we are using different kinds of bonbons, jelly beans, gum balls and smarties to make

  • a super cool and fun candy costume.

  • It is made out od 4 DIYs plus I included an amazing lip tutorial, where I'll show you

  • how to create an awesome bonbon lip.

  • OK let's start crafting!

  • We're gonna make a fun party hat using candy wrappers and gum balls.

  • I will be using a bunch of colored gum balls and these fruity soft bonbons, which also

  • come in a lot of different bright colors.

  • Take a piece of thicker paper, wrapped candy, gum balls, decoupage glue, and elastic thread.

  • Grab that paper and roll it like this until you end up with a cone.

  • Secure that shape using a few pieces of tape.

  • Then take your scissors and cut away the excess paper to get a flat bottom edge.

  • This way the party hat will stand nice and straight on your head.

  • Here comes the fun part – it's time to unwrap all the yummy candy.

  • And a good news is that you can eat the candy, just save the wrappers.

  • Make sure to flatten them a little bit. You can use a heavy book to do that.

  • Once you have a bunch of wrappers flattened and ready to go, take the cone and let's assemble the hat.

  • Apply a bit of modpodge on one section of the hat and stick on the first wrapper.

  • Continue by covering more sections with modpodge and wrappers.

  • As you can see I like to partly stick the wrappers on top of each other.

  • Also note that modpodge dries transparent so you don't have to be too careful with it.

  • Our hat is all covered, so we can trim away the wrapper pieces, which are hanging off.

  • This way we get a neat bottom edge!

  • Using a hole puncher make 2 holes on the opposite side of the hat.

  • Grab a piece of elastic thread and stick one end through the hole.

  • Make two or three tight knots.

  • Stick the other thread end through the second hole and again make a couple of knots to secure

  • it in place.

  • There we go – this elastic band will make sure that the hat stays firmly on your head

  • the entire Halloween.

  • The last detail needed to finish up this hat are gum balls all around the bottom edge.

  • Stick them closely next to each other to make a super pretty and neat ending to your hat.

  • Finally glue one last gum ball right on the top of the hat, which will make it even cuter.

  • How adorable is this candy party hat, right?

  • It just looks so fun, happy and positive – I like that very much.

  • It's time to transform these inexpensive green glasses into the most amazing and fun nerd

  • glasses your eyes have ever seen.

  • How are we gonna do that?

  • Using jelly beans of course!

  • Push the lenses off the glasses' rim so you're left only with the frame.

  • Apply a dot of glue on the frame and place on a jelly bean.

  • I decided to combine jelly beans with some smaller candy pearls for a more interesting look.

  • This is such an epic and inexpensive DIY perfect for Halloween or any other party.

  • Make a few of these for an awesome party prop.

  • Take a bunch of pictures with friends and your Instagram feed will be popping – guaranteed!

  • Another mind blowing DIY you're gonna learn today is a bracelet made out of a plastic bottle.

  • You'll need an iron, plastic bottle, glue gun and some candy of choice.

  • Cut away the top part of the bottle.

  • You can use an exacto knife or scissors like me.

  • Now make another cut all around the bottle about one inch lower then the first one.

  • To get rid of the sharp bracelet edges we'll use an iron.

  • Turn on the heat and use the steam free setting.

  • Rotate the bracelet close to the ironing surface to melt the bracelet edge.

  • You can see plastic bending inside giving our bangle neat and smooth ending.

  • Melt the edges on both sides of the bracelet.

  • Alright our bracelet is ready to be decorated!

  • I'll use a bunch of jelly beans to do that.

  • However if you want to make a bracelet that you can literally wear every day, you can

  • totally decorate it with some gemstones, fake flowers, buttons or you can even paint it

  • with acrylic paint.

  • But since I'm making a Halloween candy costume, I'm just going to stick with candy.

  • Using my trustee glue gun I'll attach colored jelly beans all around, making it the world

  • sweetest bracelet ever! How gorgeous!

  • It seems pretty incredible that we've just made a bracelet out of a plastic bottle.

  • So affordable and absolutely stunning.

  • OK, so we got a bracelet, glasses and a hat.

  • I think we're also missing a candy shirt.

  • We're gonna make one using smarties.
