What You’ll Need:
- Assorted candies and chocolates
- Wooden skewers
- Floral foam
- Decorative container
- Tissue paper or cellophane
- Ribbon or twine
- Scissors
- Hot glue gun (optional)
Step 1: Prepare Your Materials
Gather all your materials and prepare your workspace. Make sure you have a variety of candies and chocolates in different shapes, sizes, and colors. This will add visual interest to your bouquet. Soak the floral foam in water until it’s fully saturated and trim it to fit your container.
Step 2: Attach Candy to Skewers
Take a wooden skewer and carefully insert it into the bottom of your chosen candy. If the candy is too soft or fragile, you can secure it with a small amount of hot glue. Repeat this step for all the candies you want to include in your bouquet.
Step 3: Arrange the Bouquet
Place the soaked floral foam inside the decorative container. Start arranging your candy skewers by inserting them into the foam at different heights and angles. This will give your bouquet a full and dynamic look. Add more skewers until you’re satisfied with the arrangement.
Step 4: Add Finishing Touches
Once all the candy skewers are in place, you can add some finishing touches to your bouquet. Wrap tissue paper or cellophane around the base of the skewers to conceal the foam and create a more polished look. Secure it with a ribbon or twine tied into a bow.
Step 5: Personalize Your Bouquet
A candy bouquet is even sweeter when personalized. Consider adding a small card or note to your bouquet with a heartfelt message. You can also incorporate small trinkets or accessories that reflect the recipient’s interests or hobbies. Let your imagination run wild!
