Make it Monday

Today's make it Monday is a 2 X 4 craft perfect for fall. In case you don't see it.  This is candy corn.
There is also a surprise at the end of this post so be sure to read all the way to the end
 

First you take a 2 X 4 and cut it into pieces. Mine are cut 10 inches for the bottom, 8 inches for the middle, and 6 inches for the top.
 

Then you paint one wide side of the longest board yellow the middle board orange and the smallest white.

Then you paint the rest of the sides white.

Then I took a brown ink pad and run it around the side to make the edges softer.

So there you have it  candy corn

Now for the Surprise it is also a snowman.
Simply break out your button jar (if you do not have a button jar start one Now) and hot glue gun.  Use red buttons for the mouth and black buttons for the eyes (or what ever color you want) I used a piece of wood for the nose and buttons down the front I also added a small wooden block to the top painted black for a hat.  You could also change the candy corn into a pumpkin by painting it all orange and adding a green block for the stem.

So there you have it a 2 in one fall/winter decoration for you home.

If you don't want to take the time to make one I will have some for sale in my etsy shop later this week.
Happy crafting
