This candy corn can be made as big or as small as you like and it makes a great basket filler, It is very inexpensive and easy to make.

Materials:

  • poly stuffing
  • gold, orange, and off white craft paint
  • coarse glitter
  • glue

Step 1.

Cut out two pieces for each candy corn.

   

Step 2.

Stitch around edge using a quarter inch seam allowance. Leave an opening at the top and use it to turn to outside.

   

Step 3.

Paint the orange strip first in the middle. After it dries paint the gold stripe on the top.  After that dries paint the cream color on the bottom.

Fill the candy corn with poly stuffing and then close the opening by hand.

About Elaine Kazinec

I have never met anyone who can't make wonderful things for their homes, friends, and family, only those who think they can't. The purpose of this blog is to show everyone how really simple most projects for the home are to make. When my husband and I bought our first home we were short on cash so I learned to be long on creativity. I have been told that I can make something wonderful out of nothing and that is true. You can too! Some of my favorite things are items that I found in someone's junk pile. I am going to show you how easy it really is. I hope you find the courage to jump in and attempt some of these projects. You will be amazed at how talented you really are.
