Next you may have to block the candy corn to get it to lay flat. I like to just spray the tatted piece with water and stretch it out until it lays flat and let it dry on a flat surface.
And now you have a finished candy corn! I hope that you enjoyed this free tatting pattern and be sure to check out my other free patterns on my blog.
