1
Purchase supplies at a craft store, such as Hobby Lobby or Michael's. If you plan to make a large bouquet, consider going to Costco or Sam's to pick up the candy bars.
-
2
Fill the vessel -- vase or basket -- with hard candies. This can be a sea of Red-Hots or just a bunch of peppermints, but make sure they fill the vessel high enough so they will support the skewers.

Warm up the glue gun. Once the glue is hot, put a strip on the back of the first candy bar, then secure the wooden skewer to the glue. Repeat with each candy bar.
-
4
Cut the tissue paper into large (at least 6-by-6-inch) squares. Poke the free end of the skewer through the center of the square and pull up to frame the candy bar.
-
5
Push each skewer into the hard candies. If desired, cut some of the skewers so the height of the candy bars are staggered. Arrange with equal distance between each skewer.
