How to Make Candy Corn from Paper Plates

Are you ready to see just how easy it is to make LOTS of candy corn with just one plate?

Step One

Squeeze a bit of yellow craft paint onto a paper plate.  The paper plate will serve as your paint palette!  Then, use the paint brush to paint a ring of yellow paint around the other paper plate.

Our yellow ring of paint extended from the outer edge of the paper plate to the inner circle.

Step Two

Now, add a bit of orange craft paint to the paper plate paint palette.  Add a ring of orange paint underneath the ring of yellow paint – making sure to leave a white circle in the middle of the paper plate.

Paper plate candy corn is so fun to make! And easy, too!

Step Three

Let the paint dry completely.  If you apply a thin layer of craft paint, this won’t take too long.

These paper plates will become candy corn crafts!

TIP: if you’re pressed for time or making these candy corn crafts at a Halloween party or in a classroom setting, consider using markers or oil pastels instead!  That will speed up the craft since drying time is eliminated.

Step Four

Once the paint is dry, begin cutting the paper plate into triangle shapes, just like a pie.

For our candy corn craft, we ended up with six triangles, but you could have more if you cut the triangles at a narrower angle.  Paper plate candy corn is so fun to make!

Step Five

Next, carefully round the pointed edge of the candy corn with the scissors.  Learn how to make adorable candy corn crafts with paper plates.

With that, your paper plate candy corn is complete!
