Kid's Christmas Crafts Candy Stick Vase

Aluminum can
Candy
Double-sided foam mounting tape
Ribbon
Plastic cup

Time needed: Under 1 Hour
1. To make one, first snugly wrap 3 or 4 rings of double-sided foam mounting tape around a clean, dry, and labelless aluminum can (ours was 15 ounces).

2. Peel off the tape's protective covering to expose its second sticky side.

3. One at a time, attach colorful individually wrapped candy sticks (available at candy shops; we used 26) to the tape, setting them as close together as possible and pressing them firmly in place.

4. For a festive finish, tie a ribbon around the container. To use the vase for fresh flowers or plants, set a plastic cup inside the can as a liner before adding water.
