The Sweetest Christmas Craft: Candy Trees

Photography courtesy of My Heart's Desire

These candy trees are a super sweet addition to your holiday decor, and they’re perfect for making with older kids (provided you all don’t eat all of the supplies first). Amanda over at My Heart’s Desire used her grandmother’s gumdrop trees as her delicious inspiration.

You’ll need:

• styrofoam cones
• candy
• glue gun and glue sticks
• inexpensive candle holders (white, or spray-painted white)

Amanda’s first set of these candy trees lasted for eight years (!), so once you’ve made a set, these can be used again and again.
