Brilliant, thanks for that. My Dh also suggested winter mixture and toffees as being his dad's faves.

Don't forget ur oasis to stick the skewers in the pot!!

I found my skewers and plant pot in B&Q. Plant pot was £2.99 though, only brought it as they had to same in gold which I brought for my pots of gold lol. Skewers cost 99p

HTH and have fun making it, i did

Taking inspiration from this thread I thought I would make sweetie bouquets for my students and the staff room instead of the usual tin of Roses.





I got the "living vase" boxes from my local florist for £1 each, plus 2 bits of oasis (enough to do 4) for £1 each. I already had the gold bag (recycled)

Pack of 100 Bamboo skewers from Morrisons for 89p

Fun size Cadbury sweets were BOGOFF 2 for £3.81 and 3 for £4. So in total £12.70

Can't believe how easy it was to make something that looks so effective!

I'd like to do a Jelly Bean one with different flavours of Jelly Beans in different compartments. Where is best place to buy a good assortment of nice quality jelly beans?
