Craft: Valentine Candy Bar 'Vase'

Valentine Candy Bar 'Vase'

Materials

• Hot glue gun and glue sticks (preheated to start)
• 3 flat candy bars all the same size (Hershey's, Nestle Crunch etc.)
• Styrofoam or newspaper
• 1 single silk rose or a real one
• 1 20 inch strand of red ribbon
• Red or Pink tissue paper

Instructions

Once you see how this forms then you will put a small line of glue on the inner edge of the candy bars and glue them together to permanently form the triangle model.

Then cut a small piece of styrofoam or wad enough newspaper up in a ball so you can stuff in in the center of the candy bars (should fit fairly snug).

Then remove it and poke a hole with the stem of the silk flower (or real one).

Then put some glue around the edges of the styrofoam or newspaper and put it in the center of the candy bars quickly so it will be more permanent and let the glue adhere for a minute or so.

Now take the silk or real rose stem and poke it in the hole you previously made in the styrofoam or newspaper centerpiece you just glued.

Stuff some tissue paper from the bottom to cover the styrofoam or newspaper. Finish off with stuffing more tissue paper around the stem to cover the remaining glued centerpiece.

Last, tie the red ribbon around the flower stem about 2 inches above the edge of the candy bar model.

For added fun, you can glue Hershey's kisses around the top.

Now you have a inexpensive but thoughtful gift for your woman. If you wish to give this to a guy, replace the rose with whatever you want.

You can also write a note and then punch a hole big enough for the ribbon to go through and then tie it to the stem.

RE: Craft: Valentine Candy Bar 'Vase'

Thanks for the great idea. I took your idea and changed it to suit my family and they loved it. I used the single serving brownies that are wrapped in cellophane (Little Debbie) in place of the candy bars. Once I glued those together in the triangle, I cut red construction paper and glued it to the bottom of the triangle of brownies to form a "vase". I took regular drinking straws and hot glued a small Valentine's card to the top so they looked like flags. Finally, I filled the brownie vases with M & Ms and stuck the straw Valentine's flags into the center so that they were held up by the M & Ms. A red ribbon around the middle and they made cute edible centerpieces. Thank you so much for the idea. Have a very Happy Valentine's Day!! Lisa
