CANDY CORN CANDLE RING – STEP 1

You will be using a 1/4″ seam allowance (the pressure foot as your guide) for this craft project.

From orange, gold, and cream fabric cut two pieces of each color fabric measuring 4.5″ x 1.75″.

Arrange the fabric in the order you want the candy corn to be.

(Some prefer orange at the bottom and others prefer gold at the bottom.)

Pin the top and middle fabrics PRETTY SIDES together and stitch.

Sew the bottom and middle fabrics together in the same manner.

Now repeat the steps so that you have two sets of the three colors sewn together. (One for the front and one for the back of the candy corn.)

Sketch a Candy Corn Pattern or find one off the internet. I made mine 4″ high and 5″ wide at the bottom.

From your pattern cut out two candy corn pieces using pinking shears. We are using pinking shears to keep your fabric from fraying.

Using regular scissors cut out one layer of quilt batting. Once it is cut out trim around the entire candy corn to make it 1/4″ smaller all the way around.
