Easy-To-Make Candy Corn Decor

Hello Sweet Friends,

I have the CUTEST DIY decor project for you today! It s an easy-to-make candy corn decor piece. Candy corn is one of those love-it or hate-it candies when it comes to how it tastes, but I think everyone can agree that using candy corn in decor pieces for the fall and Halloween seasons would be in the “love it” category.

Pinterest has been showing a lot candy corn decor ideas including some hanging candy corn holders with florals in them. When I saw them, I knew that I wanted to DIY them. So I used some inexpensive supplies from Dollar Tree and Walmart and came up with this craft. I hope you like is as much as I do.

Supply list for Candy Corn Decor

• styrofoam cone
• sheets of felt in colors; white, orange, and yellow
• scissors
• knife with serrated edge
• glue gun
• various fall/halloween stems
• wire cutters
• black crow mini tree topper from Dollar Tree, optional

The first step was to cut the styrofoam cone in half, only using one half for this project. I used a serrated knife which made it a little easier, but it still was a little difficult to keep a straight line. It looked uneven on the back side but the back side does not show in the final piece, so no worries.

Next, I cut the yellow felt into strips. The strips were approximately an inch wide; I did not measure, but just eyed it and began cutting. Then beginning at the wider end, I glued the strips onto the half cone, wrapping around as I went.

I then repeated the process with the orange felt.

And then also with the white felt, making sure to cover the tip of the candy corn. I also glued a wire loop onto the back for a hanger. Oops, did not get a picture of that.

Decorating the Candy Corn Decor

Now that the candy corn holder was finished, it was time to start adding the florals and embellishments. The first thing I added was the black crow tree topper using plenty of hot glue and placing it directly onto the foam.

Some black branches and mini pumpkin stems were added next. I used wire cutters to cut the stems to the right length and stuck them directly into the foam.

After adding a few more leaves, berries, and florals, the candy corn decor piece was finished! And it sure turned out CUTE!!

Let’s take a look at the finished piece!

Oh my gosh, I just LOVE how this LOOKS!
See below for both candy corn decor pieces that I made from one cone.

I am also sharing another candy corn bouquet that I made with a smaller cone.

It’s hard to decide which I like the BEST!

And just in case you wanted to see what the back looked like, here is a picture. I know it’s a hot mess, but having the felt on the back won’t be a scratchy as the bare styrofoam and is probably a little better for your wall.

Well, I have to say that I had a lot of fun creating this, and I hope that it has inspired you to create something similar for your home.

Until next time…….. Happy Crafting!
