Make Your Own Candy Bouquet Basket!

Candy bouquets are a fun gift to give for any occasion.  They are a presentation of candy, done up to look like a beautiful bouquet.  The candy can be presented in mugs, baskets, or anything!  However, they can be very expensive to purchase.  If you’re on any type of budget, buying one of these from a boutique or even online doesn’t quite seem to be worth the price.

Candy Bouquet Basket Food Marriage

For my sister-in-law’s 16th birthday, I attempted making a homemade candy bouquet!!  It was much easier than I thought it would be!!  To start, I got a basket and placed styrofoam in the bottom and then covered it with some tissue paper.  I then got various kinds of candy and taped wooden sticks to the back of them and then inserted the sticks right into the styrofoam.  (Lollipops are also great to add in because they are already on sticks!!)

Next, I got a clear cellophane bag and placed the basket inside.   Finally, I tied it up with a beautiful bow and it was complete!  The candy certainly has a wow factor when displayed in this way.

A Candy Bouquet is definitely a fun gift to give…everyone loves candy!!
