Do you give Easter gifts? I love using the holidays as an excuse to get a little something for people in my life I love and appreciate and this Easter Candy Bouquet is so adorable (and delicious!)

Making a candy bouquet is not as hard as you think! For half the price of a store-bought candy bouquet, you can make one with twice the candy!

They don’t take long to make and you can customize the candy included to the person you’re giving it to!

I’ve made candy bouquets for lots of occasions, and you can see them here:

• Graduation Candy Bouquet
• Mother’s Day Candy Bouquet
• Birthday Candy Bouquet

How do you make an Easter candy bouquet?

Step 1: Gather your supplies.

You will need:

• (4) Boxes of Easter Theater Box Style Candy
• Lots of Easter Candy in Varying Sizes
• Floral Foam
• Bamboo Skewer Sticks
• Hot Glue Gun
• Knife
• Scissors
• Easter Grass
• Easter Ribbon

Step 2: Make the candy box base.

Choose four of the same type of Easter theater style box candy for the base of your Easter candy bouquet.

If you choose different candies, they won’t line up to make a solid box and will be uneven.

Use hot glue to attach them together.

Step 3: Add in the floral foam.

Cut a piece of floral foam that’s the same length and width of the opening in the boxes. Press the foam in the opening.

Use hot glue to fill the gaps if it isn’t a snug fit.

Step 4: Attach the candy to skewers and insert.

You will hot glue bamboo skewers to the backs of the candy you want in your Easter candy bouquet.

Bigger items like the larger chocolate bunny will need two skewers as shown to keep them stable.

Use short skewers, or use scissors to trim your skewers shorter so they don’t need to be pressed so far into the foam.

When choosing how to arrange your candy for your candy bouquet, start with the biggest focal pieces first and work from there.

I started with my largest chocolate bunny in the back, and then arranged my smaller chocolate bunnies (they were three for $1 at the dollar store!) around the big bunny varying heights and positions.

After I had the bigger bunnies in place, I used my smaller candies to fill the spaces and gaps until I was happy with the amount of the candy and the presentation.

Step 5: Add the Easter grass.

To complete your DIY Easter Candy Bouquet you need to add Easter grass! Use hot glue and place small bunches of grass at a time to fill in empty space.

Step 6: Add a bow to complete the candy bouquet.

Tie a small bow from Easter ribbon and glue it to the front of your DIY Easter Candy Bouquet to finish it off!

These are great gift ideas for lots of different people in your life, or they work well to make and sell too!
