Teacher Appreciation Gift ~ Candy Bouquet

Here is another great gift idea to give to your favorite teacher. I showed this about 2 years ago on the blog, but decided to revisit the idea.

Supplies:


paper flowers (punched or cut from large flower die)
straws
small lollipop (such as Dum Dums)
floral tape
glass vase
jelly beans

Step One: Take two paper flowers and punch a hole in the center


Step Two:  Insert lollipop throw hole in flowers


Step Three: Insert straw over lollipop stem


Step Four:  Wrap floral tape from the base of the flower all the way down the straw. Arrange paper flower shaping petals.


Your flower is now complete!


Step Five:  Fill a glass vase with jelly beans and arrange with lollipop flowers. Add additional arrangement materials to personalize.

Your candy bouquet is now complete and is ready for gift giving. Here are 2 arrangements that I made using different flower dies and lollipops.





Hope you enjoyed this project. I would love to see pictures if you decided to try to make a bouquet too, so post links in the comment section!
