Candy Bouquets make wonderful gifts for any occasion. They're a great gift idea for Mother's Day, Father's Day, Teacher Appreciation Gifts, Good Luck Gifts, and Get Well Soon Gifts. I've made candy bouquets for kids birthday parties, as sweet centerpieces and unique candy party favors. 

Here's a step-by-step tutorial on how to make a jolly rancher candy bouquet and all the supplies you'll need. Almost, any individually wrapped candy will work.

Any individually wrapped candies will work. My favorite candies to use are small hard or soft candies like: Jolly Ranchers, Tootsie Rolls, Bit O Honey, and those Strawberry Hard Candies which no one knows what they're actually called. You can find all my supplies used and the candies I recommend in my Amazon Store Front.

DIY Steps To Make A Candy Bouquet....

Optional: Fill the cup with candy or a weight to hold it down. I only do this if it's an outdoor party 

Place a line of hot glue on the top inside of your cup.

Place the Styrofoam Ball inside your cup. Press down.

Place a dab of glue on the 3" Styrofoam ball. Start at the bottom.

Add your candy to the glue and press. I like to hear the Styrofoam crunch a little, so I know the candy is going to stay. Hold for 10 seconds.

 Add your candy all the way around. It will look like this.

Do the same thing with the next layer. Add the candy in between the candy on bottom, instead of directly on top.
