Bargain Crafts - Candy Bouquet

I mentioned earlier that I love to give things to people for no special occasion.  I especially like homemade stuff!  :)  I have a friend (you KNOW who you are) that is SO creative you just wanna smack her!!  lol  BUT you wouldn't because she's so awesome and generous.  :)

I wanted to share with you something I made recently for "someone" special for a birthday (I haven't given it to him/her yet).  I have had several people try and convince me I needed to give it to them!  It was so much fun and cheap to make - if you know where to go for supplies.  I'm going to list the supplies needed, where I got them, and how much I spent.  I'll be glad to tell you how to make it...just comment and let me know!
