SusieQTpies Cafe: Easter Bunny Candy Bouquet

Who is ready for an easy peasy gift idea for Easter? Here is our favorite candy bouquet which we use mugs for the base. The mugs were picked up at garage sales and the Dollar Store. We also selected candy that our friends and family love which allowed us to personalize each mug bouquet. This is a super easy and inexpensive Easter project.

Materials Needed:

Mug
Easter Candy
Mug filler- we used a scarf
Tape or double sided dots
Paper Straw or Craft Stick
Ribbon of various sizes and colors
Mini Bowdabra/Ruler
Bowdabra Bow Wire

Instructions:

1. Gather all of your supplies.

2. Add mug filler and Easter Candy. Tape a straw or craft stick to the back of one of the pieces of candy. We used the large Easter bunny in the center. Stick this into the center of the mug and candy. Use more tape depending on the size of your candy.

3. Make a Bowdabra bow to top off the project. We tied ours to the mug handle.

4. Place the Hair Bow Tool & Ruler onto the Mini Bowdabra. Cut 12in of Bowdabra Bow Wire fold the wire in half and place it into the Mini Bowdabra.

5. Begin by placing the widest ribbon at the 2.0in mark. Fold it back in forth for equal loops on both sides.

6. Add a colorful smaller width ribbon into the Mini Bowdabra and fold that back and forth for 2 equal loops. Trim off extra ribbon.

7. Take another color or patterned ribbon and fold it over 3 times in 1 inch segments.

8. Trim off the end and scrunch the tiny ribbon into the Mini Bowdabra to be the center of the bow.

9. Scrunch down the ribbon with the Mini Bowdabra Wand.

10. Thread the Bowdabra Bow Wire tails through the loop. Pull the wire tightly. Remove the bow from the Mini Bowdabra and knot the back.

11. Tie the bow to the bouquet. Add it to the handle, to the center candy or wrap bouquet with clear gift wrap and tie off with the bow. Trim off extra Bowdabra Wire.

I made the project for the Bowdabra Blog as one of their designers.
