Candy Bar Bouquets



Candy Bars - We use the fundraising packs from Sam's
Wooden Skewers
Curling Ribbon
Tissue Paper
Container
Floral Foam or Play Dough
Packing Tape

Put the foam or play dough at the base of each container. If you use foam, depending upon the size and weight of your container, it may be top-heavy. So if you are using a light weight container, you may want to consider using the play dough at the base for support.
Tape a wooden skewer to the back of each candy bar. Put desired amount of curling ribbon at the base of each candy bar. Place the skewers in the foam or play dough, putting taller pieces in the back and shorter ones towards the front. Push skewers down further in the front to create a more 'stair-like' effect. Place tissue paper in between skewers to cover up foam or play dough.

This picture is not the best one, as I took it towards the end of the ladies meeting and it had been handled by many people and it was starting to look a little 'sad'. We used these as centerpieces for the eating tables, then we gave them aways as gifts to visiting Pastor's wives and as door prizes.
