Candy Corn Cuteness

Even though I don’t have a little girl, and even though I don’t like the taste of candy corn, I am oddly drawn to all the cute candy corn crafts out there this time of year. Woman’s Day Magazine (which also has a huge spread on my husband’s cookbook this month!) had a bunch of decorating projects involving candy corn … though I know I lack the patience to glue individual candies to a wreath,etc. These cute little candy cane barrettes are MUCH quicker. I used this great tutorial by Katherine at One Inch World. Her technique for partially sewing the pieces together for the top of the cover and then sewing them to backing piece really streamlined things. So these little guys will be for my niece, who is generally the recipient of all the cute girly projects I try.
