A tried and tested method is to coat the ball with a thick layer of chocolate and then add a dab of chocolate to the malteser and stick onto the chocolate ball - courtesy of chaosweddings

Thank you CraftymumUK and Chaosweddings

I can make these trees but am really struggling to get hold of the small metal tins to place them in, any ideas please

Thanks

You could use flower pots or a glass vase, I've seen both used when I've been looking at pictures of the sweet trees.

I use plant pots for trees and plastic bowls for my other trees as they were for kids for easter.
I have tried to post pics but am not allowed yet, does anyone know how many posts I have to do before I can?

The sweet tree I made for my mum for mothers day



Sweet eggs rather than sweet trees. For three little boys



One for my nephew



One for my little Great niece

Excellent Britbok! Did you stick the sweets on with melted chocolate, was it easy?

Thank you, for the boys eggs the sweets were stuck on with melted chocolate but my great nieces egg I used icing sugar for the dolly mixtures. Quite easy to do, surprisingly

These are fab! Can i ask did you use polystyrene balls or wet/dry oasis and what size did you use for the tree?
Thanks

Just icing sugar and water or royal icing?

Thank you, I use polystyrene balls and the tree was either a 120mm or a 150mm, not sure the exact size as I got it from Hobbycraft and did not check but it was a solid ball.
