Valentine Candy Bouquet

I was having a hard time thinking of what to  make/get for my hubby for Valentine's Day, then I remembered seeing these candy bouquets in a store once, but I didn't want to pay the price they were asking and decided I could make one myself cheaper. The result was a success!


 All you need to make your own candy bouquet is:
- a variety of candy
-Styrofoam used for making flower arrangements
- tooth picks or skewers
- gift tissue
-a pretty little box, can, tin etc.
-tape
-scissors

1) First I covered my Styrofoam with valentine's tissue paper.
2) Stick the Styrofoam down in your container.
3) Tape candy to tooth picks or skewers and stick them all over the top of the Styrofoam piece, varying the height of the pieces.
4) Pop some tissue out of the sides to finish it off.

Super easy, super cute and at least half the price of the store bought. Best of all it was handmade with love!
