More Crafty Stuff

So last fall while I was browsing on the internet I came across some wooden candy corn.  I'm not a huge of candy corn.  There's something about it that I just don't like.  It kinda tastes like plastic to me.  I do think they are cute as decorations though.  I was remembering the ones I saw online and decided to make some.

The Man sanding the candy corn.
I started by finding a template online.  Than I gave it to The Man so he could cut it out of some of the random wood we have around.  I would have cut it myself but since I haven't used a power saw since 7th grade (Thanks Mr. Nelson!) I decided to let him do it.  Plus it's his saw and if it broke I didn't to be responsible.  Then we sanded it down (I sanded another piece, a good will find.  I"ll be sharing soon!).  Then I added some yellow, orange and white paint and then put some Mod Podge over it.

Here's the finished project:

I'm getting kinda crafty...copying others ideas anyway.  I might come up with some of mine own soon.   

Have you been making any thing crafty lately?
