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 :)

T.R.U.T.H. Wristbands. The Road Up To Heaven

T.R.U.T.H. Wristbands

So, there are these new wristbands out embossed with T.R.U.T.H. (The Road Up To Heaven) on them. I think they are great and will spread like a Texas wildfire. Soon, we will see these wristbands everywhere and I'm about to buy some for my family.

This is the description I got from T.R.U.T.H. Wristband's Facebook Page:

Description

"The T.R.U.T.H. wristband is a silicone wristband with a lot of underlying meaning.

First the wristband is embossed with the acronym T.R.U.T.H. The one thing everyone at some point in their life searches for. Should we stay commited to that search we will find ourselves on The Road Up To Heaven.

The wristband is embossed with the acronym T.R.U.T.H. Meaning that the message is not just on the band but embedded in the band. The meaning behind this is that we strongly believe that the T.R.U.T.H. is actually embedded in us. In our DNA. If we were to follow the search on the outside, we will find the path leading back inside of us.

The message is colored white. This is to symbolize that once we find our T.R.U.T.H., we will be enlightened. That all things will be clear. Perfect clairity will be presented to us.

The band itself is black. This represents the worldly desires and deception that the T.R.U.T.H. has been hidden in and tries to keep us from it.

The band is to be worn one the wearers right wrist. The right hand is a representation of God's will. Jesus sits on God's right hand side showing all of heaven and earth that his Father's will is his."

T.R.U.T.H. Wristband company does sell more than wristbands. Check them out:

Tutorial: DIY Hair Bow Centerpiece made out of fabric

Fabric Hair Bow Centerpiece

Tutorials

Do you have left over fabric scraps that you do not know what to do with? Lets make a bow centerpiece.

Supplies:

You will need:

Fabric Scrap

Grosgrain Ribbon

Heat N Bond

Plastic Bottlecap (optional)

Scissors

Lighter

Pen

Iron

 Tutorial:

 Iron your Heat N Bond to the back side of your fabric.

 Place your plastic bottle cap (I used a water bottle cap) over the image you want and trace it with your pen.

Cut out circles

Peel off the heat n bond paper backing from your fabric.

Iron your fabric circle cutouts to your grosgrain ribbon.

Cut around your fabric leaving a ribbon trim. Then, heat seal the ends of your ribbon until it curls up right next to your fabric.

This is what it will look like when you are half way done heating your ribbon.

 Once the ribbon cools down it's almost like a hard plastic.

Glue your new centerpiece to your favorite bow :)

Tutorial: How to make a Candy Bouquet.

DIY Candy Bouquet

Tutorial

 I get 2 -3 emails per week requesting this tutorial, so I hope you enjoy :)

Candy Bouquets make wonderful gifts for any occcasion. Mother's Day, Father's Day, Teacher Gifts, & Get Well Soon Gift. I make them for my kids Birthday Parties. Here's Madison's Candy land Party with a Candy Land Candy bouquet.

 Supplies Needed...

*Jolly Ranchers: or other candy. look here

*Party Cup: any theme

*3" Styrofoam Ball

*Glue Gun

*Glue

DIY Steps....

Place glue on the top inside of your paper cup.

 Place the Styrofoam Ball inside your cup. Press down.

 Place a dab of glue on the styrofoam ball. Start at the bottom.

Add your candy to the glue and press. I like to hear the styrofoam crunch a little, so I know the candy is going to stay. Hold for 10 seconds.

 Add your candy all the way around. It will look like this.

 Do the same thing with the next layer. Add the candy inbetween the cand on bottom, instead of directly on top of the first layer of candy.

Work your way up until your styrofoam ball is covered with candies.

See how easy that was :)

Melted Crayon Art with Kids Names. TIPs to DIY

DIY Melted Crayon Art
~Great Kids Craft~

These are all over Pinterest and I do not know who to give credit to for the orginal idea. This is a fun and creative idea for kids and adults.

To DIY all you need is.....

Crayons

Blow Dryer

Hot Glue Gun or another type of glue

Canvas or white cardboard (shirt box)

Black Stickers for kids names.

Easy DIY Melted Crayon Art STEPS:

Add the childs name with black stickers on the bottom of your canvas/board.

Glue crayons at the top of your canvas or white cardboard.

Get your blow dryer and melt the crayons.

Let Dry (takes 30 seconds or less).

TIPS:

The kids and I made four of these in 2 days. Here are some helpful tips I learned along the way...

1. Use at least 2 or more same colored crayons next to eachother. Jaxson's crayon art was the first one we made and the colors look darker, because they blended together too much.
2. No need to melt the entire crayon. Just melt the tips of the crayons. On Jaxson's we started to melt the crayons from the top and it took awhile to start melting. It, also, made the paper around the crayon waxy. If you just melt the tips of the crayons the paper will still be nice and bright light Madison's Crayon Art. Only the top of the paper (near the tips) will be darker from the melted wax.
3. Blow dry downward. If you keep the blow dryer straight on the crayon it will go everywhere when it starts to melt.
4. Lay down paper under your melted crayon art. Just in case :)

HAVE FUN and BE CREATIVE!

Jaxson's Melted Crayon Art (Our 1st Creation)

Madison's Melted Crayon Art (Our 2nd Creation)

Madison & Madilyn's Melted Crayon Art (our 3rd and 4th creations)

Madison's cousin, Madilyn, spent the night and this was a great project for the girls to create. I didn't have any more white canvas, so we just used shirt boxes left over from Christmas.

These crayon arts will hang above their new art centers my father made. {Picture HERE}
