DIY Candy Bouquets

"I will honer Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year." -Charles Dickens


My mother and I made these last night for a few people for Christmas.  Great idea for coworker, student-teacher, boss, ect.




Materials:
  • Coffee Mug
  • Foam Ball
  • Fresh trimmed pine sprigs
  • Candy (of various kinds)
  • Floral accent
  • Bamboo skewers
  • Hot glue gun
  • Scissors
Directions:
1. Put the foam ball inside the cup.
2. Stick springs of pine shooting straight up, unit the base is covered. 
3. Cut skewers in half and glue candy onto them.
4. Stick skewers into the foam.
5. Add an accent to give the creation some personality.

Yes, it is really that easy.  These look awesome, and when done in bulk the cost doesn't break the bank either!
