Things You'll Need:
- Small terracotta flower pot
- Iridescent glass marbles or aquarium glass
- Wooden skewers
- Chocolate kisses
- Brightly wrapped chocolate balls
- Gumdrops
- Red velvet ribbon
- Scissors
- Hair dryer
- Small fake Christmas tree
-
Step 1
Position the tree in the flowerpot. Depending on how tall the base of the tree is, you may need to layer in some glass or marbles before you sit the tree in the pot. The lowest branches of the tree should brush the top of the pot. Pour the rest of the marbles or glass over the base to hold it firmly in place. The marbles should reach just below the edge of the pot.
-
Step 2
Cut the skewers to different lengths. Do not make any so short that they will not reach the marbles or glass in the flower pot through the branches of the artificial tree.
-
Step 3
Skewer the candies. Push the pointed part of the skewer into the candy. It should not protrude from the other side. Do not unwrap the candies if they are individually wrapped, but poke through the wrappers with the skewer. You will have an easy time skewering gumdrops, but you may have to heat the chocolate slightly with a hair dryer to get the skewer in.
-
Step 4
Push the skewers into the marbles holding up the tree. They will hold the skewers upright, and the candy will appear to be hanging on the tree like Christmas ornaments. However, the ornaments can be easily removed for consumption be simply pulling the skewer out of the pot.
-
Step 5
Tie the red velvet ribbon in a bow on the top of the tree. Let the tails hang down on either side of the tree. Now, you are ready to enjoy looking at and eating your beautiful candyland Christmas tree.
