Blooming Color Centerpiece
Blooming Color Centerpiece
Here's a colorful centerpiece or decoration that's surprisingly simple to make.
Prep time: 30 min.
Difficulty: Moderate
What you'll need:
  • 1 bag M&M'S® Brand FUN SIZE® Milk Chocolate Candies
  • 1 bag SKITTLES® Brand FUN SIZE® Bite Size Candies for Easter
  • 1 bag M&M'S® Brand Speckled Milk Chocolate Eggs, optional
  • Double-sided tape
  • 15 3 x 5-inch index cards, white or colored
  • 30 6-inch craft sticks, natural or colored
  • 1 6-inch flowerpot or container
  • 1 Styrofoam™ square or floral oasis
  • 1 24-inch strand Easter ribbon
What to do:
  1. Cut the 15 index cards in halves to make 30 pieces.
  2. With the double-stick tape, make an "X" on the back of each wrapped FUN SIZE® Candy piece. Press an index card half onto each taped "X".
  3. Tape a craft stick end to each card. Set the FUN SIZE® Candies (with the craft sticks attached) aside.
  4. Fill the flowerpot with the Styrofoam™. Start with the back row: Press the craft sticks (with the FUN SIZE® Candies) about one inch deep into the Styrofoam. Gradually work your way to the front row, by pressing the craft sticks deeper and deeper into the Styrofoam™, making each row shorter and shorter, until the entire pot is "bursting" with a floral arrangement of candy.
  5. With festive Easter ribbon, tie a bow around the flowerpot.
  6. If you like, cover the Styrofoam™ with M&M'S® Brand Speckled Milk Chocolate Eggs.
