Corn on a stick


So I decided that I wanted to make some of the wooden candy corns that I have seen invading blog land and that was when it hit me... corn on a stick!


What you need:


  • plywood

  • 1/4" dowel (I got mine from walmart)

  • Paints

  • rafia

  • gorilla glue

  • wooden base



Here are the steps that I took to make it:


  • I printed off a candy corn clip art and cut it out for my pattern. I made the pattern three different sizes varying just a little before I printed each out.

  • I traced the pattern onto my free plywood that I have been bragging about and cut it out with my jigsaw.

  • I painted my candy corn and used my sander to round the edges.

  • After that, I drilled a 1/4" hole in the bottom of the corn to match the 1/4" dowel that I bought from walmart.

  • I cut the dowel to three different lengths that I wanted which were 6", 9" and 12"

  • I found the bases at Lowes in the fencing department and they came with 1/4" hole drilled already.

  • I glued the dowel into the base with gorilla glue and painted them white

  • When it was all dry, I attached the candy corn to the top with a little more glue and tied raffia around the base


It really was sooo sooo easy!
