I finally got around to decorating my house for the holiday last weekend and came across this project when looking for inspiration! It's adorable, easy, and inexpensive!To create this holiday accent all you need you is white chipboard, card stock or other heavy-duty paper, round items to use as pattern, red craft paint, paint brush, clear crystal glitter, spray adhesive, small wooden dowels or skewers, kitchen shears or craft knife, clear tape, hot glue gun and glue sticks, and candy-striped wired ribbon. First you start by tracing assorted sizes of glassware or small plates onto rigid paper and cut the circles out. Then draw concentric circles or swirling pattern onto paper circles with pencil and fill in the pattern with red craft paint to create a peppermint look. Once craft paint has thoroughly dried, cover painted surface with spray adhesive. Sprinkle a dusting of clear crystal glitter onto wet glue and set aside for a few minutes to allow glue to dry. Then cut wooden dowels or skewers to various lengths with kitchen shears and attach to the back of each circle with tape or a dab of hot glue. Finally, add finished candies to a vase to create a centerpiece and embellish with a peppermint-striped ribbon. That's it! Have a great and creative holiday!
