How to Make Candy Corn Throw Pillows
How to Make Candy Corn Throw Pillows
It’s coming up to Halloween and I thought I would create these adorable candy corn throw pillows for this Halloween season. These pillows are a simple sewing project and super fun to make. Any beginner sewist can make these pillows. It is simply three strips of fabric and some fiberfil. But those three strips of fabric bring back Halloween memories.
I used orange, yellow and white Kona cotton for my candy corn pillows. You could use some similarly colored quilting cotton for yours. I obtained my fabric at
JOANN Fabric & Craft Stores
but you could order yours from Hobby Lobby, Fabric.com or onlinefabricstore.net to get it delivered safely to your home. This post contains affiliate links that if you click on them and make a purchase I may receive a small commission at no extra cost to you.

Repeat for the other three pieces. Press the seams open.
