Candy Corn Love

Well HEY!
First of all, thank you for the lovely comments on our deck! You all are the sweetest!! We are just so pleased with how it turned out.
Sooo, last week I was trying to get some crafty mojo going up in here. (That would be up in hea if you’re hip. I’m not.) I had a GREAT Halloween craft in mind, and I got all the way to the end…and it was just, well.
Wrong. :)
Since I had all the supplies for it, I wanted to reuse them somehow. So I took it all apart and I have a plan in mind for all the parts. (And yes, I’ll show you the unfortunate craft soon.)
I had three Styrofoam cones to reuse, and after a few days, I finally came up with an idea. I got some yellow, orange and white yarn at Wally World and started wrapping, and wrapping:

(The black on the cone is part of the unfortunate craft. Please ignore. Not needed.)
I didn’t use any glue – just wrapped. And wrapped. ;)
You see where I’m going with the yellow, orange and white – especially if you read the title of this post. I’m not so good at the teasers.
I ended up with some big yarny candy (I almost wrote carny – that would be a whole different craft!) corns!:
yarn candy cornsThey are too cauuuute! And WAY better than the original craft. Believe you me.
They were so easy it was just silly – just time consuming. But because I just wrapped (and wrapped) willy nilly, it was a great project to do while sitting in front of the tube watching the new fall shows.
I just tucked the end of each strand into the back of the cone. Easy peasy! I think they’d be a fun craft for kids – maybe with big chunky yarn?
So. cute.
