Looking for a fun and unique way to decorate your next party or event? Well, look no further than the candy flower umbrella! This sweet and colorful decoration is sure to brighten up any occasion. Plus, it’s surprisingly easy to make! Here’s how:
First, you’ll need some supplies. For the umbrella frame, you’ll need a metal or bamboo hoop (available at most craft stores) and some clear plastic wrap. For the “flowers“, you’ll need an assortment of hard candy in different colors (we used wrapped mints, but any type will do). You’ll also need a hot glue gun and some green floral wire.
To start, wrap the hoop in the plastic wrap, securing it with hot glue. Then, begin attaching the candy to the frame with more hot glue. We found it easiest to start with the larger flowers and fill in the gaps with smaller ones. Once you’ve covered the entire frame, cut off any excess plastic wrap.
Finally, use the green floral wire to create a handle for your umbrella. Simply wrap it around the top of the frame and twist it to secure. And that’s it! Your candy flower umbrella is now complete.
So, what are you waiting for? Get creative and start making your own today!
