MAry I got some wooden bbq skewers, if you are using bars of chocky then just use some clear sellotape on the back to attatch the stick, I had to use little bags of cello to wrap mine up in. you can also cut the skewers to size

Got it from the local florists jamtart, cost me £1 each they are called living flower boxes. However I have seen them in crafty places aswell but more expensive (go figure )

here's one i've just done for my sister (25 y/o) - i think she'll love it!

cost £1 for the box in poundland, and approx 70p for the sweets (would have cost less, but used a whole net of gold coins)

I think it looks awesome. She will love it
