Mother’s Day Crafts for Kids: DIY Candy Bouquet

Our series “Get Crafty” gives you the inspiration for creating inventive DIY projects during the holidays and year-round. Your Mom is one of a kind, so she deserves a truly original Mother’s Day gift. Here’s how to make her a gorgeous DIY candy bouquet.

No one is sweeter than Mom. If she were a food, she be a sugar cookie covered with buttercream frosting and sprinkles. So, while you’re waiting for her fresh Mother’s Day flowers to arrive, get creative and make her a truly original arrangement entirely out of sugary treats!

This gorgeous DIY candy bouquet takes only a few minutes to put together (no baking required!) and is a Mother’s Day craft that no chocolate-loving mama can resist.

Here’s a step-by-step tutorial on how to make one for your mom. After all, she deserves only the very best.

Materials for a DIY candy bouquet

Vase
Styrofoam
Crinkled filler paper
Ribbon
Lollipop sticks
Green candy-striped straws
Chocolate-covered strawberries
Candy bar pretzels
Mini brownie cakes

Instructions for a DIY candy bouquet

1. Cut a piece of Styrofoam so that it fits snugly into your vase. Push the Styrofoam block into the base of the vase.

2. Fill the vase with crinkled filler paper in the color of your choice. Make sure to completely cover the top and sides of the Styrofoam so that the white color doesn’t peek through.

3. Pierce different-sized lollipop sticks into the Styrofoam in the spots where you want your candy flowers to go. Using both small and large lollipop sticks will give your arrangement height and dimension.

4. Stick one green candy-striped straw into the base of each mini brownie cake and chocolate-covered strawberry. Then, take the skewered brownies and strawberries and start arranging them in the vase by placing them on top of the lollipop sticks, just like a flower head. (The lollipop stick should go into the hole at the bottom of the straw.) This will securely anchor the treats to the Styrofoam and hold them up straight.

5. Take a few candy bar pretzels and stick them straight into the filler paper to fill up any empty spots in the vase.

6. Tie a ribbon around the vase to make your sugary bouquet more realistic!

If you’re not the DIY type, don’t worry. You can still show your mom how sweet she is by sending her a delicious, readymade Mother’s Day fruit bouquet instead. It’s overflowing with Mom’s favorite fruit, and it will hook her up with her chocolate fix, too!

7 DIY Mother’s Day Crafts for Kids

Our series “Get Crafty” gives you the inspiration for creating inventive DIY projects during the holidays and year-round. Sometimes the best Mother’s Day gift is one that’s homemade. Here are seven Mother’s Day crafts for kids that Mom will cherish forever.

For spouses, grown-up children, and even parents of parents who have celebrated many Mother’s Days, picking out the perfect gift can be easy. But younger children may not be so sure about what to get or do for mom that will have her smiling from ear to ear. Thankfully, we’ve got loads of DIY ideas that the little ones can pull off for Mother’s Day.

Here are seven favorite Mother’s Day crafts that kids can make for mom this year, or any year.

Flowers are a popular gift on Mother’s Day, so why not create a personalized vase for Mom to put them in? All you need is some liquid adhesive, a small brush, tissue paper, a photo with Mom, and scissors. Check out our step-by-step instructions for this homemade Mother’s Day craft.

2. Personalized picture frame

If Mom has photos lying around without a frame to put them in, then this is a gift she absolutely needs. First, find a plain wooden frame that fits the photo you’d like her to display. Then, using paint, markers, glitter — anything, really — decorate the frame with Mom’s favorite colors and designs. Children can even write a personalized note around the edges if they’d like.

9 Best Birthday Gifts for Sisters

If you are lucky enough to have a sister (or two…or three), you know the joys of growing up together, strengthening the bond between you two, and facing life together. From basking in the joyful moments to persevering through the tough times, sisters are irreplaceable companions that are there for us when we need them most.

A sister’s birthday presents a unique opportunity to let her know just how much you appreciate her.

After all, you know her better than anyone else does, and you know what kind of birthday gift will bring her the most happiness.

The Green Thumb

For the sister who loves natural beauty, the outdoors, and getting her hands dirty, few gifts are better than the ones that keep giving.

Whether it’s succulents and cacti, a stunning azalea bonsai, or a rustic herb garden, the lasting nature of your gift will remind her year after year how much you care for her.

The Food Lover

A delicious birthday dinner is one of the best, most classic ways to celebrate. Treat her to a special meal with a sirloin dinner and cheesecake. Or, if she likes a little seafood with her meat, there’s also a surf and turf dinner meal to die for.

Of course, you don’t want her cooking on her birthday, but if your sister fancies herself a home chef, you can get her a personalized accessory that facilitates and fuels her passion. From high-quality aprons to timelessly elegant drinkware engraved especially for her, these reminders of your sisterly bond will be cherished every time she uses them.

Show Your Valentine’s Day Flowers Some TLC

Whether you’re looking for romantic gift ideas or ways to make yourself feel loved, “Your Trusted Cupid” brings you top-notch advice from relationship experts. In this story, Julie Mulligan offers stylish ideas of how to use your Valentine’s Day flowers after the holiday.

Make your Valentine's Day Flowers last with a woman smiling at a large bouquet of flowers.

Who doesn’t anticipate feeling special and loved on Valentine’s Day? And of course, receiving Valentine’s Day flowers is the best way to know you are adored. Flowers represent love in many ways, with their natural beauty, fresh scent, and elevating the atmosphere. So, once you receive Valentine’s Day flowers, be a flower “caretaker,” not a “heartbreaker” by giving your flowers plenty of TLC.

Our 1-800-Flowers.com team is so passionate about extending the happiness quotient of flowers, we created these tips to help preserve your arrangements.

Make your Valentine’s Day flowers last

1. After a few days, we recommend changing the water and re-cutting the flowers to ensure longevity. Place the bouquet in a separate holder, while you add warm water and flower food to its original vase. Be sure to follow the mixing directions on the flower food packet.

2. With a sharp knife or clippers, re-cut the stems by cutting one to two inches off on an angle, but be careful not to crush the stems. We find it best to hold the stems underwater. Return the bouquet to its vase with fresh water.

3. Once your flowers are down to their last stem, get inspired and be creative — especially with roses. Don’t believe us? You’d be surprised how long you can make a rose last, even if it is fully open. Look around the house for DIY décor-worthy items (glass containers allow for endless creative possibilities).

We’ve included some beautiful ideas to display short, fully open roses below. The shorter the stem, the easier it will be for the water to reach the rose and will last longer than you would expect.

Make your Valentine's Day Flowers last with petal-covered votive candles.

Petal-covered votives

Create an attractive, natural candle by using extra rose petals. Simply place rose petals along the perimeter of a votive and secure with a pretty ribbon for a unique candle.

Make your Valentine's Day Flowers last in an apothecary jar with a rose at the bottom.

Rose apothecary jar

At the bottom of an apothecary jar or vase, pad with greenery or leaves. Cut the stem from your rose and place the flower on top.

Lasting roses guaranteed

If the thought of seeing your Valentine’s Day flowers shrivel and wilt is too much to bear, consider Magnificent Roses. These arrangements are packaged in a chic hatbox, come in an assortment of colors and styles, and require minimal care. The main difference? Their beauty will last, just like your romance.

9 Types of Family Members at Thanksgiving Dinner

Aside from the food that never seems to run out, one of the best things about Thanksgiving dinner is getting to spend time with relatives. It doesn’t matter if it’s family that you see every day, family that you see every few months, or family that you only see on major holidays — the fact that you get to spend quality time with your loved ones is reason enough alone to love a day like Thanksgiving.

But while you may be looking forward to seeing your immediate and extended family, we know that getting everyone together can be quite a show when personalities collide! Which of the following family members do you expect to encounter this year? We’ll add reasons for them to feel thankful, with stunning gift ideas that match their personality.

thanksgiving dinner Happy Turkey Day Dipped Strawberries

The chatterbox

Quite the opposite of the quiet one is the chatterbox — the relative who just can’t seem to stop talking, even if only to take a bite of turkey (yes, this is also the one that talks while chewing, giving you the lovely sight of the inside of their mouth). How do they possibly have anything left to say?

Best gift match: One way to hush a gabber is with chocolate covered strawberries. They’ll be so focused on the interplay of fruity sweetness and decadent chocolate tastes that you may miss their conversation.

The quiet one

You know this one — the one that shyly says hello (you may even only get a wave) and heads to the table to claim their seat before the festivities begin. In fact, chances are once they’re down, they won’t ever get up, even if the rest of the clan is congregating elsewhere. Oh, and don’t expect them to utter a word during dinner either.

Best gift match: They say that pets often look like their owners, but the same concept can be applied to personality types and plants. For those who always appear to be deep in thought, the artful bonsai tree espouses a pearl of quiet wisdom to inspire.

The jokester

Need a good laugh? This relative is by far the best one to turn to! In addition to cracking jokes over your Thanksgiving toast, this is the relative you’ll see everyone crowding around when there’s a break in the action. Not to mention, if anything gets too serious, they’ll find a way to lighten things up. We all need a good laugh now and then, don’t we?

Best gift match: From tossing popcorn in their mouth to finding ways to prank with tasty treats, bite-size snacks are a great way to encourage a jokester’s fun streak.

The cheek pincher

Even if you saw them just a few months ago, and even if you’re in or past your 20s (aren’t we a little old for this?), you can always count on one family member to pinch your cheeks and go off about how you look. Having a relative like this in the family is pretty much inevitable, so you might as well get used to it.

Best gift match: Cheek pinchers like all things cute, and pooches made of carnations from the a-DOG-able collection are pretty dog-gone adorable. Though you may want to add a warning label that pinching their floral cheeks is not recommended.

thanksgiving dinner Tiered Serving Station

The extrovert

We bet you already have someone in mind for this one. This is the family member who’s pretty much all over the place from the moment they walk in the door, and you may even consider them to be the life of the party so long as they don’t get too out of hand.

Best gift match: Entertaining and extroverts go hand in hand, which is why entertaining and barware gifts will be appreciated. Perhaps they may even have the idea to host next year’s Thanksgiving dinner?

The Debbie Downer

Let’s face it, every family has a member who will find something negative to say whenever they get the chance. Arrive at Thanksgiving dinner with no traffic? You just got lucky — you’ll hit it on the way home. Food smells great? It probably doesn’t taste as good as it looks. When this one’s around, you need to call in the jokester for sure.

Best gift match: Is it possible to cure the family downer? Zen gifts for relaxation are a great way to start. Otherwise, just find amusement in the negativity…this is the holiday of thankfulness, after all.

The selfie taker

Picture time! Whether you like it or not, you’ll be dragged into at least three pictures during Thanksgiving dinner. And you better make an effort to look your best, because you can bet they’ll all end up on some type of social media site — family and holiday hashtags included.

Best gift match: Help style a selfie taker’s post with emoticon truffle cake pops. The whimsical truffle cakes on a stick add colorful smiles that are bound to get a lot of likes.

The gossip

Along with the selfie queen, we also have the gossip queen. Want to know who your cousin’s dating now or what that argument between your two aunts is really about? This relative will definitely have the scoop…even if some of it’s a little dramatic.

Best gift match: Give the gossip queen something to talk about with a bouquet from the Flowers & Feels collection, which offers a stunning selection of arrangements from a talented roster of nationwide local florists.

thanksgiving dinner Purple Phalaenopsis Orchid

The impatient one

If they didn’t leave five minutes after walking in the door, they feel like they didn’t leave soon enough. You can pick this relative out of the crowd easily, as they’ll likely have their shoes and jacket on the moment everyone’s done eating. So, are you leaving yet?

Best gift match: A great way to achieve a sense of welcome and calm is with an orchid — though you may want to display it as part of the decor so it can be appreciated and then given as a parting gift.
