Sarah and I love to make things out of Candy to give as Christmas gifts – there are so many wonderful ideas around to present chocolates and lollies in creative ways. It is the one type of craft activity that kids are guaranteed to want to participate in!
Sarah’s Guide leader gave all the girls a Santa and his sleigh for Christmas. It is made out of candy canes, a Santa chocolate, and small kit kat bars. It was a big hit with all the girls.
Here are some of our favourite Candy projects:-

I dropped into the Inglewood Artisans Market today for some Christmas shopping and managed to buy this gorgeous summery bag from Janelle! It is covered in pvc which makes it very practical as well as pretty! It was a wonderful Christmas present for myself:)

I love the sweets presents, such great ideas! Cute bag too.
imaginative and playful way to present candy gifts!
I love that Santa… but the bag beats them all! It’s gorgeous! Enjoy using it.
Lisa, I remember making the Santa and his sleighs with my year 2 class when I was teaching , they absolutely loved it. I found a design for a topiary sweet tree which I have posted on my blog and I am thinking about doing it with just one type of sweet, maybe minties as I used to make Minties Wreath’s at christmas time. Its all such fun isn’t it.
I love your choice of bag, it is really pretty!
Delicious candy treats. I’m making homemade marshamallows this season. A first! Very pretty gift you gave yourself.
Hmmm lovely!
That little Santa in a sleigh is adorable! Thanks for sharing your fun candy ideas!
The candy idea in the first photo is fabulous. What more could one ask for? Love that bag in your last photo, adorable.
