Last Minute Valentine's Day Bouquet of Candy Gift and Printable

Are you still looking for that perfect last minute Valentine's Day gift to say I love you?  You can't go wrong when it includes chocolate, or at least with my husband and children.  This is a super quick and easy gift that can be made in no time at all.  The one in this post is for my husband.  Hershey's are his all-time favorite.  Plus, I was able to use some more of my Dollar Tree goodies.   The milk glass vase is one of my cherished pieces that belonged to grandmother.  Another gift idea would be to use a special vase as part of the gift with the candy.  I still have to get busy tonight and finish the one for my son.  He loves Reese's, so he is getting a clear vase filled with miniature Reese's and then the large Reese's at the top like the one below.  

The best thing about this project is that it can be used for any occasion!  

Here's what you will need for this project:

a vase

 floral foam

skewers

floral wire

wire cutter

tape 

tissue paper

candy bars 

hearts or decorations

First, cut the foam to fit the vase. 

Tape the skewers to the back of the candy bars.

Randomly place the candy bars in the vase.

Cut the tissue paper into large squares, fold in half, and gather at the base, and wrap the floral wire around the end piece.  I used different squares, and made the squares larger at the back to fill in the middle.

 Just keep wrapping and filling until you have covered the entire piece of foam.  Now you are ready to add the little extra Valentine touches.

Here it is before I added the little heart balloon.  I taped the hearts on floral wire and placed them in the vase.  I decided against a bow, so I just used the love sticker to add the ribbon.  

We will be celebrating our anniversary at the end of this month.  I wanted to get married on Valentine's Day, but my husband wanted us to have our own special day.  So, now I have to come up with 2 gifts every February!  I made this printable using PicMonkey to give him on our anniversary.  We are huge Lionel Richie fans, and this just seemed perfect for the occasion.  It sums up my wonderfully,  blessed marriage.   :)

Happy Valentine's Day to you all!!  
XOXO
