So... about those candy forms I created waaaaayyyy back in October?
Yes these ones.
Well truth be told, I didn't get around to making them into candy decorations for Halloween.
BUT! I did make them into festive holiday candies (minus the calories) for Christmas.
I have this adorable Rudolph planter from the 50's that I picked up last year at the Dulles Expo Center Antique Fair. I didn't have a poinsettia plant to put into it and had the thought of putting some candy inside. The only dilemma is that I am trying sooooo hard to be good and cut back on the sweets.
This is when I realized I had those candy forms from October still waiting to be turned into something cool.
I pulled out my gesso, acrylic paint, super fine glitter, glitter-glue, and metallic ink and got to work.
Here they are and I'm smitten. They are a perfect "filler" for Rudolph's sleigh and I don't have to worry about the temptation of the added holiday treats sitting around.
