Love Bug Candy Treats
What better way to make Valentine’s Day just a bit more special than to craft some little love bugs for your family and friends? Mix and match the colors you pick. When selecting the candy, make sure to choose the “fun size” treats with enough space in the individual bags to push the candies to each side of the bag and avoid smashing the pieces!
Supplies:
- Assorted paints
- Paintbrush
- “Fun size” candy
- Googly eyes or markers
- Clothespins
- Pipe cleaners
Directions:
- Paint clothespins and let dry completely.
- Hook candy inside of clothespins as wings. You will need to adjust the candy in the bag to avoid smashing the treat.
- Add in pipe cleaners as the bug antennas inside the clothes pin at the top.
- Curl or cut the pipe cleaners around the end of the paintbrush to achieve the desired look.
- Attached googly eyes (or use a marker) and you’re all done!
