Crepe Paper Flower and Candy Necklaces

For my daughter’s graduation, I knew I wanted to do something special to recognize all of her hard work! Candy leis and necklaces are so cute, but I thought I could make make one with a little more pizzaz! I stumbled upon @OhHappyDay’s candy leis on Pinterest, and I knew they were the perfect thing! Using crepe paper flowers in the best colors, this flower and candy necklace is truly unique.

Supplies:

• Crepe paper rolls - This set from Amazon has THE MOST amazing colors!

• Cellophane Sheets - Love these long sheets from Amazon

• Ribbon - Thinner ribbon works best. I loved this neon green color with the crepe paper colors!

• Candy - I used mambas for this one, but any small candies are great

• Scissors

I have created a little video tutorial to help walk you through the steps, but it is so simple! It takes a little time to get used to twisting the candy in the cellophane, and you may want to make a few sample flowers to start, but once you get the hang of it, you’ll be a pro!
