Candy Ornament

 

Remember and make this closer in the season. These were the rage in the 70's. This is a takeoff to the Peppermint Wreath chat that Theresa Taylor is doing but more personal. Find the favorite candy that your person likes that is a wrapped candy like Tootsie Rolls, Bubble Gum or any candy wrapped like this.

 

Supplies

1 foam Styrofoam Christmas ball ornament

Fancy straight pins with a beaded head or fancy heat

These pin heads will show

Sequins if desired.

 

Starting at the top of your foam ball, stick your fancy pins with the pins in the top of the paper wrapping. If using sequins place a sequin on the pin before inserting it in the ball. Allow candy to stick out and build, row upon row of candy and pins until ball is completely full. Add a bow or ribbon on the top and a hook and you have made a pretty candy ornament.

 

These are really cute if you do a Bubble Gum one for a boy and a mint for a girl, but these are great for the Candy Christmas tree. Enjoy. Any questions let me know.
