Feb 8 Candy Bouquet

Crafts, Randomness

Items Needed

Decorative bucket/container
Foam floral sphere (or whatever is needed to fit in the bottom of the bucket you buy)
Wooden craft sticks (multiple sizes)
Fillers to cover foam sphere
Items for the basket (different size candies and/or other gift items)

Instructions

Step One: Place the foam sphere in the bottom of the basket/container

Step Two: Put the filler in the basket and fill just below the top

Step Three: Place the items in the order you plan to put them in the basket to make sure that you can see them all and that they look good

Step Four: Using a hot glue gun, glue the sticks onto the items; be sure you are gluing them at the right height for how you will be placing them in the bucket

Step Five: Let the glue set for about 10-15 minutes

Step Six: Starting with the object that is going in the back, start placing the items in the bucket; make sure they are pressed into the foam and will hold on their own; continue working your way forward

Step Seven: So you can stop now, or you can use cellophane and 'wrap' the basket; this might be best if you have to transport it

This is a really good gift idea for Valentine's Day, but I have also made these for birthdays, Easter, and other holidays. See below for some I made in the past.
