Lolly Tree - Cone
Wrapped sweets (Christmas colors look great)
Poly Styrene cone or cardboard
Pins or hot melt glue
This project is very easy and is a great gift, you can make them large or small depending on the family size.
Using some cardboard cut out a cone shape and stick the cone together using glue,staples or sticky tape. If you have a polystyrene cone then your ready to begin.
Take your wrapped lolly/Sweet and start at the bottom.
Either pin the lolly or place a small dab of hot melt onto the cone.
If you are using hot melt then place the bead of hot melt glue only on the wrapper end or the lolly will not pull away later.
Place the first row so that the end of the sweet is flush with the bottom of the cone. This will allow the cone to sit flat no a table.
Start on the next layer resting the bottom of the sweet on the top of the row below as to hide the pins or glue marks. Keep doing this until you get to the top then finish it off with a little decoration.

Turned out beautiful! I made two, one for my daughter's teacher and one for an aide. I used taped together cardboard, but I taped on the chocolate wrapped candies. The candy was too heavy for the pinning method and the pins kept falling out. These two ladies are crazy over chocolate, so I know they will love these gifts! Thank you so much for sharing your idea.
