How to make a Candy Bouquet in a wine glass

Wine Glass Candy Bouquet

Tutorials

I've showed you how to make a Candy Bouquet in a party cup, but several of you have asked how I made the Margarita Jolly Rancher Bouquet. I've made so many candy bouquets out of several different containers.

 I've made Candy Bouquets out of soup cans, margarita glasses, party cups, beer mugs, Coke Can, metal pails, boxes, sundae cups, coca-cola glasses,  Cheerleader Megaphone, and now a wine glass. I wish I had a picture of the beer mugs - so cute and a great gift for father's day. Maybe, I'll make another one soon.

This tutorial is very similar to the how to make a candy bouquet tutorial, but it is a little different.

Supplies you will need....

1. Wine Glass or Margarita Glass - I used a wine glass because I couldn't find a margarita glass at the dollar store this time around.
2. Styrofoam Ball- Pick a size that fits your glass. My ball is 3"
3. Jolly Rancher Candy - I bought a large bag. You will have left over candy. You can use a different candy if you want.
4. Glue Gun - Not pictured but I use a mini low heat glue gun.
5. Glue Sticks - Not pictured but they fit my glue gun.
6. Knife - to cut your styrofoam ball.

DIY Steps...

Place your styrofoam ball inside your glass and cut off the bottom half. You only want 1/4 of an inch of styrofoam ball inside your glass.

I only had to cut off 1/4 of my ball. Place your cut ball aside.

 Fill your glass with candy leaving 1/4 of an inch empty at the top.

 Place hot glue around the rim of your glass. Do this step and the next step fast so your hot glue does not cool down.

 Place your pre-cut Styrofoam ball inside your glass and firmly press.

 Hot glue your candy on the styrofoam ball starting from the bottom. Do this one row at a time, working your way to the top.

 Once you get your ball covered with candy you are finished, or you can add some curly string or a bow.

 Simple to make, fun to create, and a great gift to give.

I would love to see how yours turns out :)

Tutorial: Team Spirit Gift

 Cute and Easy Team Spirit Gift

 

Madison was asked to bring 26 team spirit items for drill team. We could have brought anything, they just had to be a blue or orange item.

We decided to make Carnation Flower Hair Clips. These were a BIG hit with the girls and we even saw several Mom's wearing these on competition day in their hair.

What's great about carnations is they are not expensive and you can find them in almost ANY COLOR!

All you need...

1. Hot Glue Gun, Glue Sticks, Carnations (I used two colors blue and orange), Rhinestones (I used 25mm), Scissors, Ribbon, Alligator Hair Clip, and a Lighter.

Steps....

2. Seperate your flower petals from the stems. Hot Glue 4 carnation petals together.

 3. I used the bottom of my lighter to push down so I didn't burn my finger.

4. Hot Glue your Rhinestone on top.

5. Line your Alligator Clip with Ribbon and Glue to the back of your Flower.

SUPER EASY, RIGHT?!

 Kids Fleece Fringe Scarf

I see ladies and kids wearing these Fleece Scarfs everywhere! At the super market, at the park, but mostly at our drill and football practice and games. 

Fleece Scarfs are easy to make and look super cute to wear. 

All you need...

• 1/4 yard of each color of Fleece you want to use. I used orange and blue to match my daughters drill team, the Gators.
• Scissors
• A sewing machine

How to make a Fringe Fleece Kids Scarf....

• 1: Cut 4-6 strips of Fleece Fabric into 3" by 60". (4-6 strips- depending how fluffy you want it to be. I only used 4 strips for this scarf)
• 2: Stack your stips. (My Strips are stacked Orange, Blue, Orange, Blue)
• 3: Sew down the middle of your strips.
• 4: Cut 1" Strips all the way around your scarf. Make sure do not cut over your sewing job or you will cut your scarf in half.
