How To Make A Giant Candy Corn

How cool is this?



I mean, every time I see a regular construction cone (especially the ones with the reflector band at the top) I salivate for candy corn. Yet this project is so simple according to Zakka Life. All you need are some cones and acrylic paint.

I think instead of putting fake tombstones in the front yard as Halloween decorations, imagine giant candy corn along the walkway!

Make a Candy Corn Hat

I've never seen so many crafty things to make that are candy corn related until I started this blog.

This is a pretty cool project -- but not for me for two reasons: I don't sew and I live in Florida. If it were cold enough, I'd probably wear one. But I think some of you might like to give this a try.

This comes from Rennie at Material Whirled. On her blog she shares her free Candy Corn Hat pattern.

Very creative! Maybe one could make a matching scarf? Leave a comment if you make one of these and let us know how it worked out!

Amigurumi Candy Corn Pattern

Since opening this blog, I've learned a lot about the different kinds of projects people create based on candy corn.

Today was no exception. I even learned a new word - 'Amigurumi' is a Japanese knitting or crocheting art. They are usually in the likeness of a small animal, but can be something inanimate also - like candy corn!

Sheila Reinke runs The Heart of Sewing blog and shared a free pattern to make crocheted candy corns. She says it's pretty easy and they end up being about 3 inches tall.

Pretty cool but that skill is not in my set. But I like it.

What other candy corn projects do you know about?
