Candy Corn Tshirts

A few weeks ago, I made the boys some really cute and really simple Candy Corn Tshirts.
I started with some plain white broadcloth, plain yellow broadcloth, and some cute black and orange polka dot material. I decided how big each color should be and then cut strips of each material. I lined them up like a candy corn: white on top, orange in the middle, and yellow on the bottom.
I printed out a clip art candy corn to use as a template. I traced the shape onto some iron on adhesive. {You could just freehand the shape if you wanted to.}
Then I attached the candy corn shaped iron on adhesive to the back side of my strips of material following the directions on the package. After it cooled off, I trimmed the extra material away and then ironed the candy corn to the shirt.
I used my sewing machine and went around the edges of the candy corn with a straight stitch. I also did a zig-zag stitch between the different colors of material.
And that is how you make a SUPER cute and SUPER easy Candy Corn Tshirt for fall!

  4. I wish I had a shred of your talent! This is exactly what I'm looking for. I bought my daughter these adorable candy corn corkers for her hair but have nothing to match them. I haven't had any time to look for a candy corn shirt and time has run out :( I'm hoping to find something in the next few days...otherwise I will wait until next year and beg you to make one for me ;) You totally need to open an etsy shop!
