Candy Corn Necklace

October 17, 2012
Today, I am sharing a quick and easy Halloween tutorial for making Candy Corn Necklaces! I shared this post at Blissful & Domestic last week.

Remember as a kid, when you would get those candy necklaces?  Personally, I thought they tasted gross.  With all the candy corn tutorials floating around the Web, I did my own take on this candy store classic.
 
Warning:  You will get sticky.  So don’t touch your DSLR camera with your sticky candy corn nubbins.  AND you will get a stomach ache from eating all the broken pieces.  =)
 
Here’s what you need:
 
Bag of candy corn
 Needle and thread
Scissors
(Cute child model – optional)

Begin by measuring your little one’s head.  {I have ever mentioned that Reed has an exceptionally large cranium.}
Once measured, thread your needle.  I chose the tiniest needle I could out of my craft needle kit (the cross stitching one).
Carefully impale the candy morsel and pull the thread through the hole.

Repeat this step about 30 times.  {I didn’t make it a complete circle of candy corn because it was getting pretty heavy.}

Tie a knot at the end!
So easy and quick!  The whole project took me about 15 minutes!  
These would be great for a child’s Halloween party or an extra special Mommy treat on Halloween!

    What a fun idea for the kids. My only problem is I love eating candy corn too much… i don’t think it would last long enough to string together. I’d be munching while I was making them. haha.

    I think I might be able to scrounge up a bracelet or a ring but I’d probably eat too many to make a necklace!
