Candy bouquets make great centerpieces or gifts for any occasion. Here are some tips to create your own bouquet candy topiary, are in a pot or cup.
1. Or buy / find a vase of flowers or a Cup match to your topic. Could, for example, Mother's Day, you want to use a flower pot or cup with a floral theme of spring.
2. If you use a cup, you want to buy a piece of floral foam (cut to size and) put in place to keep a cup of dowel rod (forthe soil and form the topiary) and a polystyrene ball (at the end of the dowel rod and bar forms the top of the topiary). If you use a pot, you can buy supplies provided for the cup, or you can buy pre-made topiary forms that are placed directly into the pot. I have seen these forms with styrofoam cup-shaped Styrofoam base ball with Michael and Joanne Fabrics. If you go with the preparation made the form, you can hot glue directly into the flowerPot
3. Once the module is in the cup or dish, you should hot glue Spanish moss or other decorative elements such as shells, dried flowers, etc., which basically at the top of the foam base to hide the foam from the base.
4. Buy a few pin flowers and candy. I would recommend this color coordinate with the candy theme, such as candies fruit pastel packages for Mother's Day and Easter, and red / white hard peppermint candies for Christmas.Take a metallic floral pin and hold it until the end of the candy wrappers (directly before it ends twisted) and then stick with the sweet flowers including pen on the round ball Styrofoam topiary. This process is repeated until the entire globe covered with candy and you can peer through a Styrofoam.
5. To dress up the candy bouquet, you can pin ribbon floral or silk flowers in a few small candies. Even the pieces of tape around the dowel tielower right ball of polystyrene. Sounds like a good band when you leave the tail long enough to hang down and disguise the piece of wood. Recommend or Curl or 1 / 2 "wide organza ribbon for this task.
You have successfully your candy topiary bouquet!
