Read on for written instructions for how to make a candy bouquet:
- Cut the floral foam to fit the inside of the container. Floral foam is very easy to cut. You can simply use a knife to slice to cut to the right size.
2. After the foam is on place put basket filler on top. You may chose to glue it in place.
3. This is the fun part! Using the glue gun place a small amount of glue on the candy and place the skewer flat on the glue.
Cut skewers with utility scissors to make them different lengths — this makes a more pleasing bouquet!
4. Once it has cooled, arrange the candy skewers in the container. Continue placing the candy in the container until you have the desired look. Trim skewers if necessary to give the bouquet a range of “flower” heights!
The wonderful thing about candy bouquets is they can be given to anyone. They can be a birthday present, boss gift, husband gift, graduation gift (slip some gift cards in between the candy), Mother’s Day (place flowers randomly around the candy), a treat for someone in the hospital, etc. You name it! Another great gift for someone with a flower allergy! Wedding center piece?? You decide!
