Candy Corn Topiary

So I love holiday themed topiaries. Like, a lot. So I found some el-cheapo yarn, some foam cones and went to town.


I wrapped the yarn around to look like candy corn- it looked really cool. I felt like it was missing something so I painted a thrifted candlestick black and I made a fake finial out of crap I had lying around the house.

A little metal bottle cap, a couple of berries pulled from miscellaneous garlands and some kind of metal nut. I used a dremmel tool to make flat surfaces on the berries (only on one side of the little berry), hot glued them together and painted them black. Then I put it on top of the candy corn part. Here is what it looks like now:

I think I will find some cute black and white striped or polka-dot ribbon and add a bow around the top. Then I will make one or two more of these. Super easy and fun for Halloween!
