Supplies to Make Candy Corn Wooden Blocks:
* I purchased a 2” x 4’ piece of wood and had it cut into the proper dimensions at a local home improvement store.
3 wooden blocks (sizes—6” x 2”, 5” x 2”, 4 x 2”)
white (ivory), orange (pumpkin), and yellow (maize) paint
spongy paintbrushes
sandpaper
decoupage
decorative orange and yellow paper
ruler
scissors
wood glue
raffia ribbon
candy corn label
white card stock
color printer
How to Make Candy Corn Wooden Blocks:
1. Sand any rough edges on the blocks. Paint the smallest block white, the medium-sized block orange, and the largest block yellow. Allow the paint to dry. If you like a distressed style, use sandpaper to create the look. When painting each block, it is best to paint three sides first. Once the paint dries, paint the three additional sides. This will keep the wet paint on the blocks from sticking to the surface where they are drying. I painted each block with two coats of paint.
2. Using a ruler and scissors, measure and cut the orange and yellow paper into strips. You will need two orange and two yellow. Glue the strips to their corresponding blocks on the front and back sides using decoupage. I painted two coats of the sealer on each side.
3. Stack the blocks and glue all three blocks together using wood glue. Allow to dry.
4. Tie the raffia ribbon around the blocks and attach the candy corn label (optional). Please use my free candy corn printable label or create your own design.
