MEANWHILE My husband and I (The Muriel's) already put up our Christmas tree..our theme this year is "Candy Land" it is filled with nothing but sweets, from cupcakes, to lollipops, to candy, hershey's kisses ornaments, and giant candy canes.. we made over 20 different ornaments this year..although it is not completely finished.. here is a picture of how it looks so far.

Here is a Picture of our hand-made ornaments,

this particular one is about 12 inches long and 5 inches in diameter

last but not least, our lollipops that we made as well, they are 15 inches tall

here is how we made our ornamnets:

bought styrofoam cylinder, cellophane metallic paper and colored tissue paper.. and about 5 different ribbons!! all with cute patterns!! it was SUPER easy.. the value of each candy came about $1.56 with everything I used.. and I also made lollipops.. some using the same materials for the candy and using a bbq skewer and the other one buying a styrofoam flat circles.. and again the same sticks.. the cost for those were about $4 each.. but they were so much bigger and I only made 2! HOPE YOU ENJOYED!

LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING MANY CHRISTMAS TREES!!

 

- XOXO -
