Candy Corn Cozy...

I love eating Candy Corn.  The sugary taste is so yummy and just personifies fall time for me.  I use a large Duncan Hines cake frosting container for my crochet hooks and needed a fall theme.  So, here's a quick Candy Corn Cozy that literally took me less than 20 mins to make -- and that was includint the time it took to make the lion appliqué to put on it...lol!

This would make a great gift for a teacher -- place Cozy around your container and fill with candy, pens, pencils, crayons...add anything a teacher could use on her desk.  Put a smile on a teacher's face as the new school year begins!!!
