Simple Christmas Tree Candy Dish

The girls and I made this Christmas tree candy dish. It was so simple and only took a few items I already had around the house.


Materials used: Small paper plate, plastic cup, paint , brush, beads, hole punch, 8 chenille stems, glue, yellow construction paper, and scissors.







Punch 8 holes around the paper plate.
Paint the plate and allow to dry.







We strung 8 beads on each chenille stem.

Wrap the chenille stem around each hole in the plate.








Bring all the chenille stems together at the top. I twisted a small piece of chenille stem around all 8.
Cut out star and glue to the top.
Glue cup to the bottom of the plate.

Add candy.

That is so pretty! Did you come up with it? If so, you need to start a magazine and sell subscriptions.

Cut a hole in the center of the foil and push the edges down in the cup. Spoon in some baking soda. Pour in the vinegar. Watch it erupt.

My kids saw it and could not wait to make it (because it is a bug). I made some modifications to it to make it a little easier for younger kids. Do not be scared of the paint because you do not have to use it. I know paint can be messy. You will need toilet paper roll, scissors, glue, pom-poms, paint or markers or green construction paper for the body (to make the toilet paper roll green), wiggly eyes, chenille stems, green foam sheet or construction paper and a pencil. Have the kids paint the toilet paper roll green. OR you can have them color it with a marker OR just wrap it in green construction paper and glue it. While the paint is drying, I get all the pieces set up to glue on. I used foam sheets to cut out legs but construction paper will work too. For the nose, I cut a triangle out of craft ...
