Easter Jelly Bean Topiary

 
Hi!  Like many of you every once in awhile I just have
a wonderful, terrible urge to craft that must be satisfied.
Mainly I like to do kitchen crafts but when holidays roll around
I also like to do candy crafts.

This styrofoam ball has been loaded with candy corn at Easter
and gum drops at Christmas.  Now I have added jelly beans for Easter.

I found the pots at Wal-Mart on clearance this past November.  I painted them a wicker white and then distressed them.  I glued the jelly beans on with hot glue and then inserted a painted dowel in the styrofoam ball and into the urn (there was already foam in it).

  16. This just screams Spring! I love the pastel color of the jelly beans. What a cute urn too. It really sets the topiary off. Do the kids try and steal the candy off of it? My grandkids would!
