Here in Texas we have had a very hot Summer !
Temps pass the 100 mark serval days in a row with no rain ....
So when we finally did get RAIN and the temperature dipped into the 89 to 90 range it felt like Fall ' 🍂
So it inspired me to make these two adorable Pieces to usher in those cooler temperatures!
Here's the supplies I used.
• Chenille bedspread I bought on EBay
• Hot Glue Tool
• Orange, Yelliw and Brown paint
• glitter
• Paper tag
• poly filler or plastic bags
Here is the shape of my candy corn that I used .
I drew it out on a paper folder to use as my pattern .
This measures about 9 inches wide at the bottom and 12 inches tall . You can make it whatever size you like .
I then traced it out on my material!
I used a sharpie..
Once it was cut out I proceeded to glue the edges!
Oh yes this Candy Cane is a no sew project 😀!
I went all around but left an opening at the bottom to fill!
I then began to stuff my pillow !
Here's another little tip if you have a lot of plastic shopping bags here's a nice way to recycle them by using them as your stuffing!
I didn't have any poly filler so these worked perfectly!
I then glued the last opening and you are done with creating your Candy acorn pillow !
Now it's time to paint it !
I got out my yellow paint and painted my first part of my pillow .
I did water it down a little as I painted .
But you don't have to if you choose not too I just liked that look better.
Looking cute already!
Then I moved on to my Orange I did the same thing .
I then grunged it up with a little brown paint you don't have to do this step ... but I love that look!
I then added one of my Tags that I make to add to the cuteness !
I also sell these tag at my Etsy shop here's the link
Ok look how adorable this Candy Corn is !
I just love it !
I hope you give this project a try !
