Hello! Welcome to another Pinterest Challenge. I'm really disappointed that I haven't found any shadow boxes yet as I've pinned such a wonderful idea and even have a big, empty wall waiting for this Pinterest craft so if you have any ideas let me know!
On to Junes task! I decided to make my Pinaddicts June craft a Father's Day one. So, to come up with something my Dad would love. What better than chocolate?
These are called Candy Bouquets and here is how you make them!
Gather all your items together and start by wrapping some nice tissue paper and cellophane wrap around a cut piece of florist foam, this will hide the unsightly green colour!
One you've done that, start using strong tape (yes I soon realised my mini sellotape was not 'man' enough for the job) and secure your chocolates to the kebab sticks.
Insert each stick into the foam however you like until you feel it's perfect!
Add some finishing touches if you like, I added a nice blue ribbon I found in my craft box but you could do anything you like!
Easy! Not the best picture I'll give you that but it survived a buggy walk and 2 bus rides so I don't think it came out too bad! Needless to say Pop loved it and from what I hear, it didn't last too long!!
Yes...He is 'smelling' the chocolate...And maybe kissing it? |

ReplyDeleteHaha maybe I should make a business out of it!?
DeleteDelicious! Wouldn't last very long in my house either ;-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a brilliant idea! Love it. x
ReplyDeleteHa... fab idea- I'd be like Kerry & probably eat it before make it!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE it! Chocolate instead of flowers? Perfect, although they probably go quicker than the flowers! The bouquet looks fab!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I enjoyed making it I must admit, good job I cant eat dairy otherwise it may not have lasted! x
DeleteGreat idea! Not sure how long it would last in our house though :-)
ReplyDeleteHaha funny how a lot of people are saying that!
DeleteOooh that's a great idea, I can think of lots of people in my family that would appreciate one of those! Also to me it would smell just as lovely as a flower bouquet!
ReplyDeleteI think if you took the wrappers off it would smell much better than a flower bouquet! Thanks for commenting x
DeleteNom! Your Dad must be so pleased to have a creative daughter who knows how to combine chocolate and craft! So doing this for friends and family xx
