  I made a thing, not sure what to call it, its is a vase filled with candy, and paper cutouts on sticks so they stand up out of the vase like flowers. But instead of flowers they are cute sayings and butterflies. I used it for a get well gift, but I think it makes a great center piece for holiday meals or a sweet birthday present. The process of making this gift was rather simple. I got an old glass vase at goodwill/salvation army washed it up and filled it with the recipient's favorite candies. Next I made several sayings and shapes using Wild Card and a few other cartridges. I attached them vigorously to BBQ skewers with tape ( I did cut off the pointed end of the BBQ skewers, so the candies would not get stabbed). Next I stuck the sticks in the vase and added some twisted pipe cleaners to make it look fuller, and TA DA awesome gift. Colored sticks would probably have looked cooler but I didn't have the time. Thanks for reading!!
