My Holiday Gumdrop Crafts!

Melissa from The Inspired Room is having a Holiday Mr. Linky party.

Click on each link to check out wonderful holiday related blog posts. I have had so much fun looking through all of the decorations and creative ideas!

So much so, that I had to post some holiday pics of mine!

I have spent almost all day working on these gumdrop ornaments and I LOVE them! I got the idea from The Ramblings of a Crazy Woman.

I am also making a gumdrop topiary. I ran out of glue gun sticks, so check back later this week for a picture.

I looked all over for gumdrops and finally found them at Target. They are the Market Pantry brand and are called Spice Drops. A 9 oz. bag is 99 cents. If you are thinking about making some of these gumdrop ornament balls, keep in mind that each ball took a little over 1 bag. I bought 14 bags of Spice Drops, just to make sure I'd have enough. I did 6 balls and 10 small paperclip ornaments. I am also almost finished with the topiary, but I still have 3 bags left.

Also, I found it easier to use a glue gun to attach the gumdrops to the foam balls, then using toothpicks.

I'll be posting more pictures of my candy themed Christmas decorations, so check back soon. Oh and if anyone knows where I can find a candy themed tree skirt, let me know! :)
