How to Make a Candy Corn Topiary

I made this candy corn topiary as a video tutorial for my TikTok page, so I don’t have complete step-by-step photos for you, but I do have all the information you need in video form, and also written form for added help!  (PS I LOVE TikTok and am praying that it isn’t banished from the U.S.!)

Watch me make this topiary and then read the instructions below!

 

Candy Corn Topiary Written Instructions

Step one: cut yellow flowers short so that only a small part of the stem remains.  Press yellow flowers into the base of the floral cone, about 1/3 of the way up the cone.

Step two: repeat this process with the orange flowers, and then with the white flowers.  (Note: if any of the flowers don’t have stems that easily push into the floral foam, simply hot glue them to the cone like I did for the white flowers.)

Step three: push a dowel into the bottom of the floral foam cone.  Then, press the other end of the dowel into another piece of floral foam, which will rest inside the pot or container.

Step four: tie a bow on the dowel, just underneath the floral foam cone.

Step five: hot glue floral moss on top of the floral foam in the pot or container.

This floral candy corn topiary is the cutest DIY fall decoration! It's so unique and adorable, and easy to make! Get written instructions and a video tutorial in this blog post.

    Modernizing a Mirrored Wall: Tape to the Rescue!

    One of the biggest challenges in my Office and Guest Room Combo Makeover was modernizing a mirrored wall that screamed “hello, it’s 1980.”  OK, obviously it didn’t really scream that, but it might as well have! Of course I thought about removing the mirrored wall altogether.  But when I researched how to do that, I […]

    DIY Dollar Tree Easter Carrot Decor

    I’ve made a lot of Easter crafts over the years, and they’ve all tended to focus on bunnies and eggs.  Now I’m in an Easter carrot decor phase.  (It’s a real thing.)  Last year’s Easter craft post was this Carrot Door Hanger, and this year it’s all about the carrots, too. You’d think that I […]

    Small Secretary Desk Makeover

    I absolutely love painting furniture, but now that I have enough furniture to fill my own house, I don’t paint as often as I’d like.  When I spot a great piece at a bargain price, however, I can’t pass it up.  That’s what happened with this small secretary desk that I got for $25 on […]

    Office and Guest Room Combo: How to Create a Double-Duty Space

    Our ‘new’ home has one more bedroom than at our last house, and because of that, we had no furniture for it.  It’s pretty tiny, but with some creative planning I turned it into an office and guest room combo space that easily pulls double-duty, making it a totally functional WIN for my family!   With […]
