Felt Candy Corn For Meals on Wheels


I made 50 of these little felt candy corns for Meals on Wheels. I thinks they would make an awesome banner on a long ribbon or tied onto a gift box for an October birthday gift.

Supply List:

white felt

orange felt

yellow felt

orange thin ribbon

yellow embroidery thread

white embroidery thread

orange embroidery thread

scissors

needle

stuffing or cotton balls

template from www.feltwithlovedesigns.com


Directions:

Cut out all of the pieces using the Halloween template from Felt with Love Designs.  She actually  sewed a happy face onto her candy corns.  Since I was making 50 candy corns I  had to delete that step.

 Using the orange thread sew the orange piece onto the front piece of the candy corn using a running stitch.


The sides of the orange don't need to be sewn - just the top and bottom.


Sew the yellow piece overlapping the orange piece. Just sew the top of the yellow piece using the yellow thread and a running stitch.


Since I was making 50 of these little candy corns - I worked in batches.


Once the front piece is sewn with both the yellow and orange - you will need a solid pice of white triangle felt, a 8-inch piece of ribbon and a little stuffing or cotton ball.


Sew the front piece to the back piece using white thread  and a blanket stitch- before sewing the candy corn shut sew the ribbon into a loop and add a little stuffing or a cotton ball.



I feel so organized that I completed the Meals on Wheels Halloween treat in September!
