This candy corn door hanger is a simple project that anyone can make. Including the kids! Change it up for any special occasion or holiday just by using different paper, colors, and words.

Materials

  • rectangle piece of cardboard (12" x 18")
  • black construction paper (enough to cover one side of cardboard)
  • various pieces of colored paper
  • white ink pad (or while acrylic paint)
  • Elmer's glue
  • scissors
  • stamp (or wine bottle cork)
  • decorative ribbon (long enough to hang cardboard)

Instructions

Step 1:

Print and cut out stencils from the candy corn templates. There are 3 separate sections (pieces) for each candy corn.

Step 2:

Outline your candy corn stencils onto the backs of your colored paper. Cut out all nine pieces (3 for the large candy corn and 6 for the two smaller candy corn) making each section a different pattern.

Step 3:

Glue black construction paper onto the cardboard to fully cover it. This will be the background for the candy corn display.

Step 4:

Using your stamp and white ink, randomly cover the black background with polka dots.

Step 5:

Once the background dots are dry (you can use a hair dryer to accelerate the process), you can start to glue on the candy corn pieces. Position the two smaller candy corn in such a way that the sides of the large candy corn overlaps them slightly.

Step 6:

Add a festive message or word to the large candy corn. You can do this by either gluing on letters cut from black construction paper or simply writing it on with a black marker.

Step 7:

For hanging, secure a length of decorative ribbon by gluing the ends to the back of each top corner of the cardboard.
