Directions for Craft Foam Candy Corn Decoration
I am looking for directions for a Halloween wall or door decoration that used craft foam.

It's a beautiful Fall day - you head out to your local pumpkin patch in the hope of finding that one and only orange globe that will captivate the youngsters, and bring some chuckles and giggles from young and old alike.

It's almost Halloween - the days are slipping past, but they too can be a lot of fun - all leading up to a great family/friend time for all.
