Materials You’ll Need:
- Candy corn
- Toothpicks
- Styrofoam block or ball
- Yellow tissue paper or felt
- Green pipe cleaners
- Scissors
- Glue
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Styrofoam Base: Cut a small circle out of the Styrofoam block or ball. This will be the base for your corn on the cob.
2. Create the Corn Husk: Cut a rectangular piece of yellow tissue paper or felt. Wrap the tissue paper around the Styrofoam base and secure it with glue.
3. Attach the Candy Corn: Use toothpicks to attach the candy corn to the Styrofoam base, starting from the bottom and working your way up.
4. Make the Corn Silk: Cut several strands of green pipe cleaners into small pieces. Glue the pieces to the top of the candy corn cob to resemble corn silk.
5. Add the Stem: Cut a small piece of green pipe cleaner and bend it into a loop. Glue the loop to the top of the corn cob.
6. Fluff the Corn Husk: Gently pull apart the edges of the tissue paper or felt to create a fluffy corn husk.
7. Finishing Touches: You can add additional decorations to your corn on the cob, such as glitter, sequins, or ribbon.
Tips:
- For a more realistic look, use different sizes of candy corn to create the kernels.
- If you don’t have Styrofoam, you can use a small piece of cardboard or even a wooden block.
- Be sure to let the glue dry completely before attaching the candy corn.
- If you are using felt for the corn husk, you can sew it instead of gluing it.
Variations:
- Mini Corn on the Cob: Use smaller candy corn and a smaller Styrofoam base to create mini corn on the cobs.
- Colored Corn on the Cob: Use candy corn in different colors to create a variety of corn on the cobs.
- Caramel Corn on the Cob: Drizzle melted caramel over the candy corn to create a caramel corn on the cob.
