Candy corn is on the loose at my house, the crows are after them! The pumpkins are just glad they aren't for dinner this time!
These cute little plates I picked up for .65 cents at Target last year after Halloween. I used fabric for the tablecloths, and the black plate underneath is really a spray painted wooden plate that is only used for display!
I love the candy corn topiary trees...there was more candy corn on the table, but sadly it is now gone...oh well, it was delicious while I took pictures, but then realized some of my prop was now gone.Have you ever laid in bed thinking about things instead of going to sleep? This is a little problem I have! Do you ever do this? I get so tired and get ready for bed, and then...
I start thinking about sewing, getting out the glue gun...
this and that, sewing this and that together, music runs through my head...I also write music at night...I make entire quilts in my head, decorate my house-in my head, paint walls-in my head,...back to the candy corn topiaries, I ended up making those, pillows,
and there's more to come...
Basically I took strips of fabric, white, large strip of orange, and small strip of yellow. So I had one large piece of fabric sewn together...white, organge, yellow...Then I cut out triangles out of the piece of fabric and sewed them together. I made pillows, little bowl fillers, and these taller versions. I cut a couple of branches spray painted them black and placed the sticks in a pot filled with beans. I decided on beans instead of dirt to stablized the topiaries. Then I put the stuffed candy corn pillow/topiaries on the sticks, hot glued them...I ended up having to shorten the stick because they kept wanting to tip over!
All in all these ended up being very easy to make. If you don't sew, you could glue the fabric together with fabric glue. There are all types of fabric glues, or you could just do scrapbook paper glued to a stick!
Blessings,
Debbie

Hi Debbie...just added you to the tablescape list on my blog. I'll be back this evening to get a closer look...glad you could join in! :-) Susan
That is a great tablescape. Such cute candy corn topiaries. Enjoyed visiting your blog. Such fun to see the ideas others come up with for their tablescapes and other decorating.
I would have never thought to put the black wooden plate under the pumpkin plates to make them stand out more! I love the whole thing. We do a Halloween dinner and I love the ideas you have! I agree with Darlene about you doing a book! You're so incredibly creative.

Who would have thought -- candy corn topiaries. How clever!! I, too, think about quilts, etc. half of the night. If I would just get up and do something, I could accomplish so much. Take care and sleep well tonight! Sally
Debbie,
The table scape is so precious! Love it! You are such a clever little thing.
I am one of those people who will lay there at night and think of a project and design and then re-design and eventually fall asleep and wake up in the morning with all these wonderful ideas and tired but will do it anyway. We are great dreamers, Awake even!
I love the candy corn topiary is so wonderful and FuN!
Keep up the great work and thank you for sharing. Hugs, Bobbi Jo

Sooooo cute! Thank you for pointing me in your direction! The topiaries are just adorable. Everything looks great! You have great ideas and YES, I know what you are talking about:)
What a great idea Debbie! Those turned out very cute. I agree with Darlene, you should do a book.
I always think about stuff when I'm trying to go to sleep. It can be nagging. Unless I'm reading a book and that puts me to sleep fast. :-)
Those topiaries are so darn cute. I love them. I've not been sleeping well lately. I think it gets worse during the holidays. I can't seem to turn off my brain! Mimi
This is just too clever for words. I really wish that I had more creative talent. You did an outstanding job. Congrats.
Holy Cow...those topiaries are cute!!! I noticed you said there's more to come. CAN"T WAIT!!!
