Decorating with Candy
Valentine's Day is a perfect holiday to decorate with candy. Red hots, candy hearts, gum balls and jelly beans are perfect to use to fill glass jars to help decorate for the holiday. I found some pink, white and red jelly beans and decided they would be perfect for my apothecary jar.
Instead of just throwing them all together in the jar, I decided to separate them. My little helper loved doing this project.
The kid didn't eat a single one, until the end when he asked nicely if he could have one. I gave him a few for his hard work. Then we layered them in the jar.
And put them up on the cupboards to add a pop of color.
Even though they are mostly for looks and high on the cupboards, my husband likes to snitch a few here and there. We'll see if they last until Valentine's. So do you decorate with candy for the holidays?

I love using candy as decorations! I love the layered look you created. Too cute! And I'm not talking about just the candy here either! ;) Your little helper is adorable!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how big your little helper is getting. He is still as cute as ever...
ReplyDeleteWe love decorating with candy too, for all the holidays! However, we put a toilet paper or paper towel roll in the middle of the jar of candy (put a crinkled paper towel in each end so it doesn't fill up with candy) then you use less candy which leaves more for the little helper to eat. :)
