How to Make a Valentine Candy Bouquet!
Valentine's day can be such a fun holiday if you are excited about love, friendship or romance.
I love giving gifts to my friends and neighbors just to help pull people out of the Winter blues.
I don't get overly wrapped up in the romance of the holiday...just keep it fun!
This cute candy bouquet is the perfect gift to make for friends or lovers.
It's fun and easy! It's better than flowers because---CANDY!
How do you like to celebrate Valentine's day?
Do you have a party, invite friends over, eat ice cream and binge watch rom-coms or have a fancy date--red dress and all?
Let me show you how easy it is to make a fun Valentine gift.
This cute bouquet can be assembled in just 10 minutes.
Now get your hot glue gun heating up and let's get making!
Supplies Needed for Valentine Candy Bouquet:
- 4 Large Movie Box Candies
- Wooden Skewers
- Hot Glue/Gun
- Tape
- Candy
- Styrofoam Ball
- Piece of cardboard for the base
Step 1: Candy Bouquet Vase
Begin by hot gluing the boxes of candy together in a square.
Alternate the overlap so it makes a square with the boxes.
Step 2: Hot Glue Base to Candy Bouquet
Now add some hot glue to the base of the candy boxes.
Then press the cardboard base on the hot glue and allow it to cool.
This can be cut from an Amazon box, a few cereal box layers or from chipboard.
Step 3: Styrofoam in the Base
Use a hobby knife to cut the Styrofoam ball down to fit inside the candy bouquet base.
A smaller foam ball would have worked better, but this was what I had on hand.
Step 4: Create Candy Flowers
Now make candy "flowers" using pieces of candy and the wooden skewers.
Pick a variety of candies that are brightly colored and different sizes.
Use candy that is your recipients favorite!
To make an even grander bouquet, add more styrofoam inside the vase so the "flowers" can poke up even higher!
Use clear tape to attach the candy to the skewers...rather than piercing the candy with the wooden stakes like feral vampires.
Stick the wooden skewer "flowers" into the Styrofoam at the base of the candy bouquet vase.
Then fill the inside of the vase with a sweet treat like kisses and hugs.
Finish it off by taping some kisses around the top of the candy bouquet vase.
Now it just needs a "happy Valentine's day" gift tag for your friend!
This cute Valentine Candy Bouquet is the perfect gift for a loved one that might otherwise be forgotten on Valentine's day.
I would love to get this as a gift any day of the week, so don't let Valentine's day be a hinderance!
That's it!
Make the perfect candy bouquet for a loved one, teacher or for a fancy family dinner centerpiece for Valentine's day!
Deliver it to someone's work to brighten their day!
Make someone smile today!
