The final vote this week was SO close. I was the bottom by 1 vote! Wow, what a tough and competitive season. I had SO much fun and am so thankful to Missy at SYTYC for the opportunity and all her work this fall. I have next weeks project all done, so I’ll share that sometime next week. Thanks to everyone who voted this season. The tutorial for this project is at the bottom of the post
I had a bag of Candy Corn that I had intended to use to make a wreath. There are SO many fabulous wreath ideas out there, wow! Before I got to it I was struck with a moment of inspiration while looking at another fall decoration… Indian Corn. As I was looking at my bunch I was thinking… I could use my candy corn for this and it would be an amazing, unique decoration!

My family was a bit more sceptical when I shared my idea with them, but after I made it they all thought it was great. We love the way it looks hanging on the wall.
I call it: Candy Corn Corn!

Add some fall leaf garland for added effect…
I love the way the top looks like real corn and the way the ribbon brings the whole thing together. I’m not sure how it will store, but this is now a permanent fixture in our fall decorations.
My mom brought me two bags of candy corn from the US when she came to visit. I was SO excited to make a wreath, but then I couldn’t find anything here to use as the base. As I mentioned above I was inspired to copy the corn (also brought by my mom!) hanging by our table. It was pretty simple…here are a few pictures and the how-to.Materials needed:
Paper towel rolls
black electric tape
candy corn
brown/tan felt
hot glue
mod podge or clear spray sealant
1. trim tube to desired size for corn
2.cute four evenly spaced slits on one end. Two long and two short, every other one. this will provide more gradual tapering.
3. Wrap with tape pulling more tight by the slits to narrow the end.
4. cute felt leaves or varying shapes and sizes.
5. I prepared a bunch of the leaves in a pile first, then put A LOT of glue inside the tube. Then I stuffed in the bunch of leaves all at once. This should hold most of them, you can always separate a few leaves and add glue between them if necessary.
6. Using hot glue and starting at the top I worked my way down each row. I put the candy in different directions each row, they fit like triangles together. The bottom candy I put at an angle to create the tip of the corn. (you can see this in the above shot)
Keep going until 3/4th of the towel roll is covered.
I actually only cover 3/4th of the roll, so the back was flat to sit against the wall. This way you don’t have to make sure they meet in the back either.
Make sure to enjoy all the broken candy in the bag!
I finished the corn by gluing the three ears together at the felt top and putting a ribbon around. I put a safety pin through the back few felt pieces to hang it by. Hope you have as much fun making Candy Corn: CORN as I did!
Looking forward to seeing you around the blog…. don’t be a stranger!

What a great idea, Emily! Wow! I never would’ve guessed those were paper towel rolls, and I never would have thought to use candy corn to make indian corn either…genius! Would you share it here? Pleeeeease?

This is such a cute and creative idea. I just love the way the corn ears look! You’re so inspiring!

why not use a needle and fishing line to string the candy corn together instead of gluing it to something? Then you could still eat it and there’s a lot less waste.

This is so super cute!!! 🙂
social media marketing plan says
Site traffic grew and the company expanded into selling hobby kits for many of the products.
And you could ask many online writers if you question the effectiveness of this tip.
The final measure that can be taken to avoid social media disaster is
to have a designated employee that specializes in the customer experience delivery chain. More than thousands websites are created
everyday and most of them are made with wordpress.
A social media marketing campaign doesn’t have to include a setting up a Facebook Fan Page,
a Twitter account, a blog and a You – Tube channel. Automatically tweet your blog
posts by setting your Twitter account to do that. But I have to
tell you both of these ways are proven to work and I will
tell you why. Your total is now up to between $700 and $3600’and that’s only
counting a week of network building. On the launch day make
sure that everything goes smooth and live for greater visibility.
How will you measure those goals using metrics you
analyze.

Will the doctor performing blind dissection be able to adequately account
for this variability in the average patient and will he risk operating
on an unwary patient in whom these differences might be profound.
Redheads and folks with course hair will typically be higher shedders than blondes or those with fine hair.
Such devices as KTP, ERBIUM, Pulse DYE and Alexandrite have
short length of laser light waves, and they are very effective for removing unwanted
hair on a light colored skin.
