Wow! That candy centerpiece is AMAZING! How did you do it?

Hi I purchased the candy in Pennsylvania at the American Candle Shop and while there the flowers at AC Moore. I bought the vase at Franks and to get the shape I got at AC Moore the cone shape topiary green foam thingy- not sure of the name. then I got from valentines day the tootsie rolls, and tootsie pops in pinks to match, and the clear lollipops I got from party giant 3 for 1. then basically by eye just starting filling the cone. for the stem of the foam piece I wanted to keep it all candy so also from valentines day I got candy necklaces from Joannes fabrics in pink and white and tied that around the stem and to cover the green by the vase cut into shape candy buttons and for the edges glued the tootsies. It was a lot of fun. Now that cake box ugh that was a royal pain in the caboose!!

Darn! And I just missed all the great pink Valentine's day candy! Thanks for the tips - foam cone topiary! I was wondering how you got the shape!

They look amazing!! Where did you buy the satin for the card box?? I've been trying to find it....

My mom bought it but I have bought some from Joannes crafts and fabric store on old country rd in westbury. its 5.99 a yard- I used just about 3 yards. I bought 4 to be safe.
