Fall decorating is one of my favorite seasons to decorate for because I am always ready to welcome it with open arms. The cooler temps and beautiful colors are a nice break from the heat and humidity of the summer. This weekend, I started decorating and came with with a simple fall garland that was easy to make. This DIY fall garland came together in no time and I am excited to share the process with you.

Supplies Used To Make The Candy Corn DIY Fall Garland:
Paint Brush
Directions To Make The Candy Corn DIY Fall Garland:
Matt cut the triangles out for me from a piece of scrap wood we had in the garage. You can definitely buy wood triangles that come as a garland set as well. (I have linked to those in the supply list above.) He drilled two holes in the top of the triangles so I could thread the twine through them.
To make the triangles look like candy corn, I just taped off different sections so I could paint each one yellow, orange and white.
I did not measure to make sure they were all the same because:
#1 – Who has the time for that?
AND
#2 – How many times do you get perfectly matching candy corn when pull them out of the bag? Just sayin’!
After I had them all painted, this is how they looked!
Are they cute?!
I did paint the back of each one in the yellow paint.
I strung each one on a long piece of twine to complete the Candy Corn DIY Fall Garland.
We had enough triangles to make a couple sets with six candy corns on each one.
Simple, cute and fall related. A triple threat fall decor item! It can’t be beat.
Here is my YouTube video sharing how I made these again a few years later with different colors.
I hope this easy project has inspired you to create some fun fall decorations for your home this year!

Your garland is adorable. I have to get my hubs to cut these out for me. I have some thin plywood so this would be perfect for it. Can get it going tomorrow. I want a cute garland to hang on front porch railing besides the usual fall leaves, etc. Sure glad you posted this. Happy week.
I am so glad you liked them! I thought they turned out great and they are something different for fall decorating!
Love this! I think candy corn themed decorations are so cute for the fall, and your garland would be perfect decorating a porch railing or mantle. Thanks for the inspiration!

Thank you!
So Cute!! Love it!
Thank you!
They look so good on your gate! I think I would protect them with acrylic and use them outdoors. Great project!
Thank you for your comment! I did spray them with a clear coat of Polyurethane after the paint dried to help protect them.
Good morning! Stopping by to tell you I featured your Garland from the Whimsy Wednesday Link Party! You can find the feature here –> http://bit.ly/1ay7ceN
Thank you so much!!!!!
These are so cute. I can think of a ton of uses…they would be great as part of a wreath (maybe with 3-4 of them) or hung across a mirror or mantle indoors…the possibilities are endless! I’m visiting from the Thrifty Thursday link party.

So cute and quick! I don’t have any scrap wood that would work for this, but I know the craft stores sell balsa wood triangles like these. Pinned this for later! 🙂 This will look adorable above my TV.
