Candy Bracelet Give-Away

Try as I might, I couldn't find a necklace design for my candy charms that I liked better than the original bracelet.

SO...who wants a Halloween candy bracelet? :D

Yep, I'm giving away my bracelet to one of you lucky and oh-so-gifted-with-impeccable-taste-in-blogs readers. Plus, look! I found the perfect box for it in my craft stash!

Isn't it great? When I found these little gift boxes a few years ago, I actually bought 3. Mmm, orange-y goodness.


The bracelet *just* fits inside. The box is wood, and ties shut with a satin ribbon attached to the bottom half:

So. Cute.

Oh, and I should mention that the bracelet is a bit smaller than average: just over 7 inches around, as opposed to the usual 8. So if bracelets tend to be snug on you, this may be too small.


UPDATE: And the winner is....Alyssa (aka alyssag721)! Congratulations, and please e-mail me your mailing address, Alyssa!


The contest has ended!


Now, rules: leave a comment (one per person, please) with a link to to one of your favorite Halloween things: costumes, crafts, jewelry, or what-have-you. (Don't forget to embed the link!) Also be sure to include a way for me to contact you. And just to reward all my fellow staying-in-on-a-Friday-nighters, I'll be randomly choosing the winner *tonight* at 10pm EST. Yep, in less than 5 hours. See? It pays to check my posts early!


Check back on this post at 10:05pm for the winner, or I'll also be announcing it on Facebook.

Good luck!

  3. Well, I LOVE costumes and decorations, and how is halloween complete without jack-o-lanterns?

    I'm quite fond of This one that pink ray gun put out a couple years ago. (Ten will always be my Doctor, no matter how much I adore Eleven)

  5. Cool! Your bracelet is adorable. I would love to have it.

    I love Haunted houses and plan to take my boys to one this one this weekend. This one looks really scary. I went to this one last year and it was pretty good too.

  7. Mine has got to be watching all of my favorite Johnny Depp movies. Sleepy Hollow, The Ninth Gate, From Hell, Sweeney Todd, Corpse Bride, the Pirates of the Caribbean movies and now Alice in Wonderland...

    He is soooo the quintessential Halloween-y actor. He plays the most brilliantly dark roles with awesome-tacular costumes!!! Oh who am I kidding?! I'd watch Johnny all day long without Halloweeen.

  10. As a cosplayer who does DragonCon every year, it's hard sometimes to get excited about Halloween (it seems so...tame in comparison!) but perennially spooky Kambriel is really one of the most amazing designers I know. She actually made the coat that Neil Gaiman wore to the Oscars, and she has made numerous things for Amanda Palmer. Her patchwork coverlets are sumptuous and beautiful creations, and her One Of A Kind page features some gorgeously spooky chokers and jewelry!

    Fingers crossed! My contact info is thatdjspider@yahoo.com

  13. I love Oriental Trading for a lot of my Halloween "stuff". LOL

    Being a Vol. Firefighter one of my big kicks is safety, so I always ordered a lot of their Glow-in-the-Dark, GID stuff and some of their little flashlights to give out instead of candy. Hopefully all of the little ghosts and goblins (or Marios...) are seen and safe.

  14. Love this bracelet! And it will go great with the super-awesome Mickey Pumpkin Head light-up ring that I bought at:

    Disney's Not So Scary Halloween Party

    which I'm posting as my favorite "halloween thing" since I can't find a picture of a light-up ring.

  17. That bracelet is adorable. As for good Halloween stuff, I really want to dress up as Vampire Willow but I fear I will not be nearly as successful as this person. She must have made that corset jacket herself for all I can find anything like it online. I bow to those with sewing talent.

  19. I love cool homemade costumes Making costumes for my family is the highlight of my year and I love seeing what other people can do! This year I'm stealing the idea from one of your D*C posts and making everyone in my family Candyland costumes! I spent about 4 hours attempting this bracelet & failing. You need an Etsy store so we can shop your crafts!!

  20. Your bracelet is totally rockin', and while it would clash with my costume color-wise, I'd totally wear it if I won...the whole family (me, the hubby, and our two kids aged 4 and 2) will be dressed as a character from this page...

  26. The best part of Halloween is, hands down Tootsie Roll Fruit Rolls. Where I live I can only ever find them for Halloween and they are the yummiest candy ever. I always buy a few bags, with the intention of making them last, but I invariably eat it all before Christmas. :)

    I love all the costumes ohdeedoh has been featuring lately, but this collection takes the cake. Who wouldn't love a two year old Nacho Libre?

    Also, you need to go to New York and go to this steampunk haunted house sometime!

    I have recently been looking at Halloween things and so I decided I would try to do some face painting on my own girls. I found that this woman had some tutorials on youtube but the work she has on her website is beautiful.

    So far my face painting ventures have been fun but I could never hope to be any where near this:

  69. I love how you turned my all-time favorite halloween treat into an adorable bracelet! (candy corn!!! YUMMMMM...must...not...eat...entire...bag...)

    My favorite Halloween thing is my friends' house. Every year they do a different theme and turn the entire front of their house into something amazing. It's been fun helping them with the process, which you can track here

    Yes, I am in several of these pictures, but I'll just mention that my little guy has been dressed as a naked mole rat for the superhero year (Kim Possible, anyone?) and as a young Prince Philip for last year's Sleeping Beauty theme. :)

  109. I absolutely LOVE Halloween: the costumes, the decorations, the candy! I even have a black cat that I adopted on Halloween. But my favorite part about Halloween has to be the abundance of horror movies that can be found on TV. My favorite bad '80's horror movie is "Motel Hell". I love watching it around Halloween.

  110. Oh, I really, really want this bracelet! I even forwarded the link to a friend of mine a few days ago because it was so cool. I definitely don't have time to make one of my own. :( My favorite thing about Halloween? GIANT PUMPKINS! I have always loved them.

    Word verification: doushing - I won't even go there.

  116. Halloween is my favorite holiday, it always has been. I love dressing up and it makes me sad that there's only one costume related holiday during the year. And of course, the candy doesn't hurt. Well, maybe it hurts the waistline...

    My link is from Martha Stewart, who is my hero, after Jen, of course! Because Jen loves Steampunk. It's this year's pumpkin line up and I think they're pretty amazing. I love really beautiful ideas for carving pumpkins and the leaves on the first slide are pretty spectacular.

    But this year I think we'll be carving Mario Bros. pumpkins. I love themed costumes for the whole family and this year I wanted my almost 2 year old daughter (who LOVES Mario games) to be Princess Peach, my almost 6 month old son to be Toad, and my husband and I were going to be Luigi and Princess Daisy. Unfortunately, I do not yet own a sewing machine and therefore couldn't make costumes. So pumpkins will have to do.

    I'm not sure what we'll be doing for costumes, but I know your fabulous candy corn bracelet would look great as I hand out candy!

    And awesome candy bracelets, naturally.

  124. I have been OBSESSED with this bracelet since you posted it, but there's no way I have the mad skillz to make one of my own. That precious little box just puts it over the edge - I would love to win it!!!

    One of my favorite "Halloween" crafts is these faux caramel apples. If that's not Halloweeny enough for you, I also LOVE these stuffed candy corns I made last year. :)

  129. FUNKINS! Seriously, they are easy to carve and then you don't have to watch your work rot away - you can save it to display year after year! I think they are pretty awesome. Almost as awesome as your candy corn bracelet.

    (and in case you can't get to my google account: catherineann at gmail dot com)

    Thanks for being awesome. I love EPBOT even more than I love Cake Wrecks and that is pretty amazing.

  130. Orange is my absolute favorite color too! And I don't think I'll mention my candy corn/pumpkin addiction....

    My favorite thing about Halloween is the Zombie Pub Crawl that my husband and I put together every year. We have made so many undead friends and have the best time doing it!! And you're only in Orlando...so you and John can come! Why not? Jen & John come to a Zombie Pub Crawl to see Jenni and Johnny...how perfect is THAT? :)

  137. Hooray for staying in on a Friday night! (And thanks to everyone sharing their links--I've found all kinds of new Halloween favorites to investigate!)

    Still, I would have to say my favorite part of Halloween is somehow figuring out how to incorporate my favorite corsets with my Halloween costume while still making it friendly to wear to work. (Last year: FFX's Lulu, and I made the belted skirt out of woven strips of duct tape. My boss asked if I was a witch or a wench...close enough!)

    Thanks again, everybody--and happy almost-Halloween!

  139. Most of my love for Hallowe'en is because it's as much a celebration of autumn as a scare-fest. And I love autumn so, so much.

    But right now, I have this song stuck in my head, and it's making me happy about Hallowe'en.

    (I also like getting to stick an apostrophe in the middle of a word that isn't really a contraction. Small things amuse me.)

  140. Oh man, I just adore that little girl that dressed up as Jareth last year - it still makes me squee at the adorable brilliance of it.

  141. This past Sunday night, coyotes killed my beloved dog TOD. While I love costumes and make-up and Halloween in general (aka my dad's birthday), this year I'll be thinking more of my sweet lost TOD. In that vein, I like this Wikipedia entry about Halloween's origins as festivals of the dead and souls wandering around: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halloween (the link embed thing didn't go so well). Good to know that it's not just a crafting warm-up for Christmas! If it's any help, TOD was reddish-gold - a very autumn-y color. (It stands for The Other Dog - because when my daughters dragged him home, I wasn't going to get attached...seven years ago.) vescomi@yahoo.com

  149. This is a completely unfair trick contest! There is absolutely nothing else that I think is as cool as your bracelet.

  155. I don't even care that I'm pimping myself.

    This
    I carve an Elvis pumpkin every year because my mom is a huge Elvis fan (what can I say, I love him too!) and I always use the seeds to make candied pumpkin seeds. I basically eat ice cream with candied pumpkin seeds on top for an entire week after carving. Soooooo good.

    But if I'm not pimping myself: I also really love Bakerella's Pumpkin Pie Bites

  164. Is there ANYTHING Halloween other than "I got a rock."? I think not! Except if it's Nightmare Before Christmas, but I've always seen that as more of a Christmas movie, anyway. And it doesn't beat out Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown.

  184. Ooh! The candy bracelet is so much fun, I don't know how you can give it up!

    My favourite thing about halloween is carving pumpkins with my siblings, something that's extra nice to do this year since I may be moving away before next halloween! However, I don't have any photos of this on account of mostly having my hands covered in cold pumpkin goo during the process (we really need to remember to bring them in to the warm a little sooner before carving...)

    So instead, here's a photo I took of some halloween lanterns in the woods, because it sort of fits with the story of the 3 of us carving pumpkins together.
