Last week, my friends and I had a little lunch to celebrate the imminent birth of our friend’s second child. A second child doesn’t usually warrant a baby shower, but what is cutely called a ‘sprinkling.’ I thought it would be fun to make that ‘Sprinkling’ candy themed with sprinkles instead. We had lunch in a restaurant, and I couldn’t resist making these cute little arrangements in glass vials to take along as decoration.
Candy Sprinkled Filled Jars with a Sprig of Flowers. Cheerful and Fun! (Tasty, Too)
These are dead simple to make. The jars came from the scrapbooking section of Joann’s, the sprinkles from Target, and the flowers were, uh, donated from around my neighborhood.
Fill a cup, or bowl, with the sprinkles, so that you can fill the jars over the receptacle. It makes this slightly less messy.
I couldn’t resist filing the vials with sprinkles, too!
Tuck in a sprig of flowers to each sprinkle filled jar, and there you have it!
You may have noticed that I didn’t use water with these flowers. I chose blooms that would hold up well without water for a few hours. To use water, and make your flowers last longer, you’ll need 2 vases, 1 that will fit inside the other with room to spare. Fill the gap between the vases with the sprinkles, then fill the smaller vase with water, and add your flowers.
These would be great for so many different celebrations! I think a child’s birthday party would be so much fun with these candy florals, or even to add a little humor to a dessert bar at a wedding.
What would you make these for?
