Holiday Candy Bar

I really want to show you my holiday candy bar, but first….

want to have some fun?

Let’s play the ridiculously addicting Candy Crush Saga.

You know you play…..

sometimes for hours.

Just admit it already.

Afterall, it is the sweetest game ever!

I will be the first to admit …

 I am guilty of playing for hours-

{well, until my lives run out anyway.}

This month,

 I have been caught in a few rather fabulous sticky situations.

Multiple holiday home tours…

and a DIY challenge that is full of colorful explosions!

So, while Tiffi and Mr. Toffee enjoy their sweet little adventure through the blissful Candy Kingdom…

I am here to share a wonderful holiday candy bar with you!

My challenge:

A holiday candy bar from clear ornaments and The Dollar Tree glassware.

Snowflake Charms

Wrap a small section of wire to the top of snowflake.

I used a nail to curl the wire before adding to button.

Use E6000 to glue the snowflake to the ice button.

Once dry, hang wire on the eyelet of the ornament.

  1. Oh my I love your creative candy bar – this is such a great idea! Being a Candy Crushaholic myself, I think I may copy this idea for our Open House so all my fellow Candy Crushaholic Friends can appreciate playing Candy Crush in “real time”. 🙂

  2. What a completely clever idea! I never would have thought of that 🙂 And my husband is totally addicted to candy crush – he’s made it all the way to the end of the current levels. Cray cray. haha

  3. This is SO fun, Michelle!! Such a creative way to use those ornaments!! When I saw this in your home tour, I thought it was so neat, but didn’t realize it was a part of this challenge! Love it. 🙂

  5. What a fun idea! I’ll admit I play Candy Crush, not has hardcore as I used to be but still haha. Love this little candy kingdom you’ve created!

  9. Love what you used to create your candy bar, Michelle! This could be a dangerous thing for me to have around. Something tells me I’d be popping candy in my mouth all day long!

  12. This is such an easy way to create a mini holiday candy station. Although, I would need full sized bowls for my family…lol. Thanks for sharing on Merry Monday.
