Last week, Ruthie’s Crafting Corner made a cute fall garland with pumpkins and candy corn. I fell in love with the candy corn and decided to be a complete copy cat and try some myself. For whatever reason, I was not thinking when I downloaded a pattern. It started with “chain 31”. Had I been thinking, I would have realized that this was not going to create a cute little candy corn that could be nestled among fall decorations on the mantle. No, not at all. This is a giant candy corn. See the pencil in there for scale? It is so giant that the small skeins of yarn I had in orange and yellow are not big enough to make a second side in order to stuff it.
However, I also realized last week (again thanks to Ruthie) that I need to have a fall decoration for my front door. Necessity is the mother of invention, and I am somehow going to work this into a door decoration. And I do still have enough yarn left to make a small, cute stuffed candy corn for inside the house as well.

🙂 yummy! I would have like a flat candy corn for my garland! Thanks for the link 🙂 I look forward to your Fall decoration! ( My kitty has the other candy corn to swat across the floor):)
Most of my small stuffed crochet items eventually become cat toys, whether I want them to or not!

Yes, that would be a great door decoration or a table decor too 🙂
A table decoration might work too. Thanks for the idea.
That’s cute maybe you could work the back in white.
Great idea!
[…] the spirit of finishing what I started, I took the giant candy corn I made, deconstructed a Halloween plant decoration from the craft store, and made a simple door […]
