How to make Fabric Candy Corn for Your Harvest Decorating...

These adorable fabric candy corns will look great anywhere in your home during the Autumn season! Looking for a more "Primitive Look" in your candy corns? Buy darker fabrics. Try a rust print for the orange, dark cream for the white, and a golden rod color for the yellow!  Their Sew Easy to make.

 

For this project you will need: one "fat quarter", also known as 1/4 of a yard, of orange, yellow, and cream color calico print fabric, fiber fill, and basic sewing needs.

You can buy this as a sewing kit: Candy Corns Sewing/Craft kit

 

 

First you will need a pattern for your candy corns.  You are more than welcome to copy and paste the photo to the left.  You will have to enlarge it before you print it. This pattern was drawn on a 8 1/2" X 11" piece of paper.

Once you have your pattern printed, cut out the 3 pieces. Pin the pattern pieces to the correct color fabric and cut them out.  You will need two of each piece of color fabric to make one candy corn.

First we are going to make the front of the candy corn.

Pin one of the white tops to one of the orange middle pieces PRETTY SIDES TOGETHER.

Stitch using 1/4" seam or your pressure foot as your guide.

Trim the little white corners that hang out.
Pin one of the yellow bottom pieces to the orange middle section that you just sewed PRETTY SIDES TOGETHER.

Stitch using 1/4" seam or your pressure foot as your guide.

Clip the little orange triangles.

Repeat the steps to make the back of your candy corn the same way you made the front.

Press the seams of the back and front of your candy corn so they lie flat.

Pin the front and back of your candy corn PRETTY SIDES TOGETHER.

Leave an opening at the bottom for turning and stuffing.

Stitch around your candy corn 1/4" making sure you leave an opening at the bottom.

Turn your candy corn pretty side out.

Stuff your candy corn with fiber fill.

Hand stitch the bottom opening closed.

 

That's one candy corn done. Repeat the process until you have enough candy corns to fill up your bowl!
