Supplies for Textured Candy Corn Craft
- Candy corn template
- Recycled cardboard
- Paint (black, yellow, white & orange)
- Recycled pulp fiber drink carrier
- White liquid glue
- Scissors
- Foam brush
- Pencil
- Cardstock
- Bowls
- Tweezers
- Craft sticks
- Blender
Directions
- First, tear the pulp fiber drink carrier into small pieces then place them in a blender with water. Pulse until it reaches a thick, soft consistency.
- Next, pour the mixture into a fine-mesh strainer and press out excess water to create a workable paper pulp.
- Separate the pulp evenly into three small bowls or cups. Add white liquid glue and paint (yellow to one, orange to another, and white to the last one) to each bowl, stirring until fully mixed together. Set it aside.
- Now it’s time to cut a medium or large rectangle from a piece of recycled cardboard and paint the surface entirely black. Let it dry.
- Download and print the candy corn template. Trace the outline onto your black cardboard base using a pencil.
- Finally, use tweezers to carefully place and press the colored pulp into the candy corn sections (white at the top, orange in the middle, yellow a the bottom) until completely covered. Once it completely dries, you can display your textured candy corn artwork.
