Valentines Candy Bouquet
PrintSupplies Needed
- 4 boxes of candy
- cube of floral form
- tissue paper
- hot glue gun and glue sticks
- wood skewers
- mix of candy bars and treats
- balloon
- ribbon
Directions
1
Start with 4 boxes of candy and glue the corners together using a hot glue gun. These will form the base, or vase, of the candy bouquet.
2
Cut floral foam so it’s just a tad bit smaller than the space inside the candy vase. Place foam in the middle of two pieces of tissue paper and press it down into the candy vase so the paper sticks out.
3
Glue the wood skewers to the back of each of the smaller packages of candy. For larger candy use two skewers.
4
Using smaller squares of tissue paper, poke the skewer through the tissue paper, and twist up paper around end of candy so it looks like a flower.
5
Arrange candy by sticking skewers in the foam. Use scissors to cut skewers if needed to arrange at varying heights. Embellish with foil balloon and ribbon on the sides if desired.
Extra tips for making a DIY candy bouquet:
- My foam fit so tight within the candy “vase” that I didn’t need to add a bottom to it, but you could always hot glue a piece of scrap cardboard if needed.
- You could use clear packing tape instead of hot glue to secure the candy to wood skewers.
- If candy isn’t appropriate or desired, consider other snacks like nuts, dried fruit, trail mix, protein bars, etc!
