For years, I have decorated for Valentine's with conversation hearts, and after making these Christmas Candy Trees last month, I knew a conversation heart tree would be the perfect replacement! So very simple and inexpensive to make, saves from year-to-year, and it looks "sweet" anywhere you place it!
Supplies needed:
White styrofoam cone
Conversation Hearts Candies
Glue gun/glue sticks
Simply dab a dot of glue on the back of each candy, and make your way around the cone, starting at the base.
Let's just say I picked the biggest cone they make. And it took a long time:) But I love, love, love how it turned out. For displaying on the mantel, it needed height.
You can see here why it's important to use the white styrofoam versus the green.
Decorating with seasonal candy is fun and versatile! Spend a few minutes on your candy aisle and see what you come up with!
Strawberry marshmallows are perfect for Valentine's!
Fill apothecary jars, Mason jars, vases, hurricanes...anything...with candy, for a quick seasonal centerpiece or as an addition to your mantel!
These two guys above are headed to my Valentine's mantel that will post on Thursday for HomeStoriesA2Z's Valentine Mantel Party. Be sure to check back to see the completed mantel!
