Candy Corn Tee Shirt

Halloween isn't very far away, so why not get a jump start on your Halloween art projects?  This Candy Corn Tee Shirt is the perfect place to start.  Try sewing a few for your kids and see how cute they look!

Materials:

• T-shirt
• Fabric scraps in brown, yellow, orange, and white
• Black embroidery floss
• Sewing supplies
   

Instructions:

1. Cut out your pieces: candy corn- 6" wide x 5" tall, yellow- 8"x3", orange- 7"x3", and white- 5"x4". Make the pieces shorter for less ruffles, longer for more ruffles.
2. Fold each strip in half right sides together and sew around 3 of the edges
3. Turn each strip right side out, tuck in the ends and top stitch shut
4. Add a row of basting stitches to each strip about 1/2" from the top. Gather until each strip is the correct width to fit your candy corn piece.
5. Pin the gathered white section to the candy corn and sew the sides and top (right over your basting stitches) to the candy corn- make sure you leave enough room around the edge to sew your candy corn to the shirt. Repeat with the orange and yellow sections.
6. Stitch the candy corn to the shirt using a zig-zag or applique stitch. (Make sure you only sew onto the top layer of the shirt!)
7. Then use your embroidery floss to add "Trick or Treat" below the candy corn.
