Candy Tree Centerpieces

I was visiting my mother in law last night and she was explaining how she was in charge of the holiday decorations at a fundraising event she was working this weekend. She’s normally someone who has a hard time being inspired by crafty projects but she came across the instructions for “candy trees” and thought she’d give it a try!

Here’s what you need to create some “candy trees” of your own….

1. Styrofoam cones (can be bought at a craft store)
2. Your favorite holiday candies
3. A hot glue gun
You can glue the candies on the cones however you’d like and they look beautiful as centerpieces (especially if you create a few in different sizes and colors). I was surprised how easy these were and how great they looked when she was finished!

How do you decorate during the holidays?
