Candy Bouquet

Thanks again for joining us for more Release #5 fun! Today I have a Keitaro project to share with you. While shopping at a local craft store, I found all kinds of Valentine's day goodies and couldn't resist snatching them up. But what to do with them? They were very bulky, so obviously I couldn't really use them on a card, so I put my thinking cap on and came up with this... I made a candy bouquet out of a metal pail. To hold all the sticks in place, I used a small styrofoam ball and hot glued it to the bottom of the pail. Then all you do is start sticking all of your sticks into the ball! Here I used some heart sticks which I think they use for floral arrangements, butterflies, hershey kiss roses, and heart shaped lollipops. Then I colored up Keitaro and attached him to my heart nesties and then onto a chopstick. Since he was the focal point, I decided to stick him in the middle.


I don't know if you can tell, but I wrote on his hearts "Be Mine". You can customize your message up to 7 letters. How fun is that?


We have one more day of release fun tomorrow! Don't forget to check out Nadine's and Debi's blogs for more fun!
