Candy Bouquets

Candy bouquets are always a cute gift and there easy to make and easy to personalize.

You can usually find the buckets in the dollar bins at Target and Michaels. I pick up different color buckets all year long because they are always changing and I can never find the bucket I want when I need it. If you don't want to use a bucket you can make your base out of candy. Tape the walls of the candy together and cut out the bottom from cardboard. Tape the bottom to the walls. Cut a piece of scrapbooking paper to cover the cardboard on 
the bottom.

Get a small square of Styrofoam and hot glue it to the bottom of the bucket or the cardboard. You may need to break up some peices of styrofoam to fill in the missing spots.

Use heavy packing tape and tape the back of the candy to kabob sticks. I tried using hot glue once but it melts the candy.

If you are making personilzed labels, place your label over the original candy wrapper and 
the stick.

Add a few little decorations and your done.
