Kawaii DIY Candy Corn and Ghost Softie (Free Pattern)

You can make this cute or I should say Kawaii DIY Candy Corn and Ghost Softie with this free pattern and step by step tutorial. Even better if you have a Cricut Maker I’ve included and SVG file so you can have these cute guys cut out with the rotary blade! These handmade toys are a perfect alternative to treats at Halloween – and a good go to for those with allergies.

Kawaii DIY Candy Corn and Ghost Softie Tutorial:

Step 1 – Cut out the Candy Corn and Ghost Softie pieces

If you’re using the Cricut maker with a rotary blade simply cut out the items in the corresponding color using the SVG file.

If you don’t have Maker – no worries I’ve included a pdf file so you can hand cut out the shapes, but you will need a machine to cut out the faces.

Out of the white cut out the following:

Cut out 2 of the Ghost shapes for 1 ghost softie, cut out 2 of the candy corn top for 1 candy corn softie.

From the orange cut 2 of the candy corn middles.

From the yellow cut 2 of the candy corn softie bottoms.

This is how the candy corn should look.

Using your Cricut machine cut out the faces from Heat transfer vinyl and weed.

Step 2 – Add the Kawaii faces to the softie toys

Decide on what cute face you want to add to your toy and iron it on to the yellow (bottom) of the candy corn and about 1/3 of the way from the top on the ghost.

Step 3 – Begin to sew the Candy Corn and Ghost pieces

Seams are .25 of an inch.

For the Candy Corn softie toy:

Line up the widest section of the orange middle to the top of the yellow – make sure it’s centered.

Sew on.

Next line up the widest section of the white top to the orange top – make sure it’s centered.

Again it will look too long but work out.

Repeat to make the back.

Sew around the candy corn leaving the bottom open for turning.

Follow the direction same as the ghost after sewing.

For the Ghost:

Put right sides together.

Sew all the way around leaving a turning gap on the side.

Turn right side out, using something (I like to use a crochet hook) to make curves defined. 

Step 4 – Finishing up the Softie

Stuff to desired firmness.

Sew the gap shut with a ladder stitch.

That’s it you just completed the Kawaii DIY Candy Corn and Ghost Softie tutorial!

Benefits of choosing handmade toys over traditional treats

When it comes to Halloween celebrations, choosing handmade toys over traditional treats can bring a whole new level of excitement and charm to the festivities. Handcrafted toys offer a personal touch that store-bought candies simply can’t match. By opting for unique handmade creations, you are not only treating children to something special but also supporting small businesses and local artists.

Handmade toys are often made with love and attention to detail, making them lasting keepsakes that kids will cherish long after Halloween is over. Unlike sugary treats that are quickly consumed and forgotten, these toys can be enjoyed for years to come. Additionally, handmade toys promote creativity and imagination in children as they engage in playtime activities beyond just eating candy.

Furthermore, choosing handmade toys aligns with eco-friendly practices by reducing waste from disposable packaging typically found with mass-produced treats. It’s a sustainable choice that benefits both the environment and your community. So this Halloween season, consider adding a touch of uniqueness by incorporating handcrafted toys into your celebrations!
