Candy Corn


I love candy corn. It's my favorite Halloween candy of all time, if you don't count chocolate. I think of chocolate as a year round candy. But, I digress...


I simply took three strips of fabric, sewed them together, drew a pencil line in the shape of a candy corn, and sewed along the line leaving an opening along the bottom for turning.


Once it was sewn, I trimmed the seam allowance to about one quarter inch, and turned it right side out. I smoothed the edges with a wooden skewer. I made a paper funnel and poured the crushed walnut shells into the candy corn. I made a bit of a mess. Oops.


Once I stuffed the candy corn with crushed walnut shells, I stitched up the bottom. Super easy! These candy corn are tiny, I used 1.5 inch strips, but you can make them larger if you like. I think I might need to give these to some special friends.



Enjoy every stitch!
