{Candy} corn burlap frame

MY {CANDY} CORN burlap FRAME

I whipped this baby up in 20 -30  mins. The frame is from Walmart. I removed the glass and saved it in a closet. I cut burlap to size, and with a wet rub on glue, I glued and smoothed down the burlap. Mod Podge would work too, just let dry.  Next, I laid out my candy corn on the burlap, just how I wanted it. Then one by one glued them on. Lastly I tied a bow and hot glued that in the corner with a pumpkin candy corn.

Now I will admit- I am not thrilled with the Y it's a little kooky... being so tall, it should be smaller.... I had all caps laid out, but already GLUED down the Y first. Then realized there wasn't space for all caps  so the others were lower case letters.... If I tried taking the Y off to start over, it left behind candy corn residue, and I didn't want to start over with  new burlap, to lazy. ;) ANYHOO, here you go- hope you like. I still do- I think its "SWEET"

I think the larger "Y" makes it look funky and fun. I wouldn't change it at all. La

Very cute idea, thanks for sharing! I think the Y being larger adds a little creepiness to it. If that is a word!

Shut the front door! I totally love that. Although my 4 year old would most certainly eat them glue and all. That is so adorable. You are on a Halloween kick girlfriend!
