I will be using mine for my Thanksgiving Dinner table! They really go well with all the fall colors in your table settings.

These favors take pretty simple supplies and I think most the supplies you’ll already have on hand, but 2 things you’ll need to pick up is Fall colored m&m type candy and some clear narrow pretzel bags!

Here’s the Supply List :
-Fall candy
-Cellophane pretzel bags (dollar store 😊 or hobby lobby )
-1 piece paper – rollee into a tube and taped (to EASILY fill your pretzel bags with fall candy)
-Brown twisted twine (dollar store again 😊)
-Hole punch
-Permanent marker
-Brown paper – cut into thin strips (I used scrap paper on hand, but a brown paper bag works too)
-Circle punch- to punch out the round tags (also a square punch, or your Cricut would work too). I kept it simple and used my 1-inch round punch, and wrote my words and stitching lines on with the marker.

That’s all that’s needed.

Now let’s dive in and make some of these fun Fall Indian Corn Favors!

Directions :

1. First roll your paper into a tube/funnel as seen above, and tape it to stay in a funnel.

2. Next cut your dark brown paper or (brown paper bag) into some strips. Next fold your strips in half, mine started to curl up. I used 2 folded strips for each favor, so each corn will have 4 brown paper husks coming from the top of your Indian corn favor.

3. Now simply insert paper funnel into pretzel bag and fill with desired amount of autumn candy.

4. Gather the top of bag in your fingers and insert folded ends of your 2 folded brown paper strips and tie off with brown twine. Leave long tails of your twine, as in photo above for tying your tag circle on.

Note: I cut an inch or so off the top of my pretzel bag off, after it was filled, so the bag wouldn’t be taller than my paper husk strips.

5. Next punch out some Round or square tags, as you desire. Write “your Thankful words” on with a fine black marker. I also added a border of dashes or stitching lines around my tags (dots look cute around tag edges too 😊)! (see below)

6. Then Punch a hole in your tags and tie them on . Now Cut any excess twine, so it’s the perfect length you like to finish it!

7. Lastly you can see “above”, that I also scrunched my paper strip husks, just a little, with my hand just EVER SO SLIGHLTY to make them look a lil crinkled, and this is totally optional.

Because You can see In picture by number 6. (way above), that before I scrunched them, they look cute too. Also you can add more strips for the husks (in photo 6. also) but again, I feel that 2 strips folded in half, giving you just 4 husks really looks the cuuutest….but you decide 😊 and just have fun making them!

You can make a whole dozen or more up pretty quickly 😊
