I wound some florist tape onto the kebab sticks, which made it a little easier to adhere the chocolate.
I undid the wrapper a little and then secured it again using the florist tape. Once secure tulle was added, a layer of burgundy and then white or visa versa.
The outer row green tulle was used to represent leaves.
2 layers of cellophane added and then a wired edged ribbon.
A believe embellishment painted green bound to a kebab stick and a Santa added. The wooden shapes used in my crafting this Christmas have all been bought. Gerard usually cuts them all out for me but circumstances have been a little different this year so we opted to buy them.
The finished product...a celebration bouquet, made with love.
Everything I make at the moment is for gifts for the family and friends, just token gifts but made with love. I did do a lot of craft fairs and events prior to moving here to our beautiful Island but haven't pursued it since moving.
As always I thank you for your encouragement.
Se you soon.
What a lovely idea :)
ReplyDeleteIt looks stunning.
If the person you are giving it to
enjoys crafting a lot of the materials
you have used can be recycled for
another project 💐
What a lovely gift!
