Candy Bouquet

We are so lucky to have the teachers we did this year for our kids. We wanted to properly thank them. I wanted a gift my son could help with so we decided to make a candy bouquet with gift cards as well.

Supplies:

Medium size basket

Floral foam

Skewers

Miniature candy bars

Tissue Paper

Hot glue gun

Gift cards (if desired)

To start we placed some floral foam in the bottom of the basket. I like to cover at least 3/4 of the bottom.

Next we used the hot glue to attach the candy and gift cards to the skewers. I bought a bunch of $5 gift cards to different places such as Starbucks, Subway, Chick-fil-a, etc.



Then I cut tissue paper into four squares each. I like to use a variety of colors and prints. Gather it as if you were putting it in a small gift bag and then place the skewer through it.

Begin positioning them one by one in the basket. It will look better the more you fill.

Once the basket has an even distribution of candy and tissue paper begin adding the skewers by themselves to fill the holes.

I am lucky my little helper did not eat them all before we were done!





I hope they enjoy it!
