I made this to put on a table at a buffet for an 18th Birthday
I need to make another one but differnet sweets, that will have to wait until I get another pot
To make :-
Take one flower pot 10p at car boot sale
A bamboo cane 10 for 99p Home bargains
Put the bamboo cane in the pot carry around in your car for a week and you`re bound to find someone using cement. (Like I did) Ask them to cement cane in pot - free
It makes the pot heavy to take the weight of the sweet tree above
I then bought 100 rolls of love hearts on amazon for £6.39 including delivery (300 are cheaper)
I picked up a 12cm sphere florists ball at country baskets 6 for £9.99
To attach the Love Hearts to the tree I used a hot glue gun. I tried everything else, it wouldnt work and eventually purchased a gun from ebay for £4.57 with 52 glue sticks
The ball took 70 rolls and I put some in the flower pot
This is amazing! They are £30+ from online stores for one!
ReplyDeleteI would get some green glitter paint or nail varnish and paint the bamboo.
Good idea on painting the bamboo, this was was coloured in using a gold marker which doesnt show very well in picture
