Candy Corn Shirt Materials:

  • T-shirt (mine is from the Dollar Tree)
  • Fabric scraps in brown, yellow, orange, and white
  • Black embroidery floss (optional)
  • Sewing supplies

Candy Corn Shirt Instructions

Candy Corn Shirt Step 1: Cut out your pieces. You can really do them any size you want- the amount of ruffle will just change slightly. Make the pieces short than mine for less ruffles, longer for more ruffles.

  • Candy Corn- 6″ wide x 5″ tall
  • Yellow- 8″x3″
  • Orange- 7″x3″
  • White- 5″x4″

Candy Corn Shirt Step 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.

Candy Corn Shirt Step 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.

Candy Corn Shirt Step 6: Stitch your candy corn to the shirt using a zig-zag or applique stitch. (Make sure you only sew onto the top layer of the shirt!) Sorry the stitches don’t really show up in that picture, but I promise it’s pretty easy.

Candy Corn Shirt Step 7: If you want to add a little extra something- you know I did:) then use your embroidery floss to add “Trick or Treat” below the candy corn.

  1. Adorable! Now if only there were a boy version, because I’m not having another baby for a while…I don’t think my son would thank me for putting him in ruffles!
