Bon Bon Garland

They say necessity is the mother of invention. And this project is no exception.

After racking me ol? brain for a new idea for a craft swap, I came up with this: the Bonbon Garland.

So simple, and yummy looking too. It goes together in a snap, so you can make one for each of your favorite people!

1. Cut a rectangle of fabric about 3 times the size of your Styrofoam balls.

If you have pinking sheers, cut your fabric rectangles with them. It will help prevent the fabric from fraying.

Place a dot of hot glue in the area indicated by the black star.

2. Roll the fabric around the Styrofoam ball to resemble a cylinder. Place a dot of hot glue where indicated by the black star.

3. Twist each end like a candy in a wrapper. Secure using a small twist tie.

4. Then wrap one of the fabric strips (or ribbon) around each twist tie. Tie a knot.

5. Repeat on the other side of the candy. Snip the ends of the fabric ties (or ribbon) is you used that. Now make a bunch more.

6. Either sew the bonbons together (easiest to tack the ends together with a few stitches then sewing right through), or hot glue them as indicated in the picture.

I?ve tried both methods and I prefer the hot glue method for stringing the bonbons together.
