Whether it's a birthday gift or a Christmas present for your children, chocolates and candies are perfect presents for your loved ones. The art form of candy decorations is candy handicrafts, which use a variety of other materials like ribbons, toys, flowers with personalized wrapped chocolates and candies to take candy gifts to another level of excellence.
There are many different candy crafts that kids can produce that make wonderful decorations and presents, and one of these is the candy airplane. Creating candy airplanes is fun and rewarding and can be enjoyed by all ages, and parents and children will have a great time together creating this wonderful gift treat.
Below are step-by-step instructions on how to make one of these novel treats.
Materials Required:
Rubber bands 2 Lifesaver candies
1 long candy such as Tootsie pops
Chewing gum Heart-shaped stickers
Directions:
1. Prepare the work area and gather all the needed materials. First, string the rubber band on the two Lifesaver candies. You can either use a crochet hook to aid you or your fingers. Ensure the band's ends stay outside the lifesaver candies and forms a loop. Attach the outer loops of the band around the chewing gum. The chewing gum should stick over the lifesavers and the band should tie it securely in place. Make sure you leave the paper wrap on the gum to make it more decorative and sturdier.
2. Now, between the Lifesavers, insert the long candies (Tootsie Pops). Make certain that they fit snugly with the use of rubber bands to hold all the materials together. The ends of the Tootsie pops must be exceeding the lifesavers. If you notice, the Lifesaver serves as the wheels of the plane, the long candy as the body of the plane while the chewing gum represents the airplane wings. Keep the rubber band fitting tightly and if it loosens, just tie a knot on it or loop it around the gums (or wings).
3. Using the little, heart-shaped stickers, decorate the wings or write a simple message.
There are other candy crafts you can try making such as candy wreaths, candy garlands and leis, candy centerpieces and mug candy arrangement. Candy wreaths can be made using Tootsie rolls or any other candy that has twist ties, and candy mints with green wrappers as the primary candy for your wreath. Another is the candy centerpieces which are quite similar to wreaths which use candy lollipops and other personalized chocolate or candy. One suggestion is to group 2 -3 candies and tie them together with a florist pick. There is so much choice, and the variety is endless. Just use your imagination and creativity.
Finally, if art is thought to be a universal language, perhaps chocolate and candies can be another form of human expression, showing us how we can create art that can be enjoyed by even more of our senses. Over 35% of all the candies and chocolates are sold during special days and holidays. Commercially made candy crafts, can be expensive so why not start making your own unique, amazing candy creations today. This is the ultimate form of candy making and is growing rapidly in popularity.
