I have a need to give out favors at all gatherings at my home
Not sure why or where this even comes from but come to my home and you will never leave empty handed!

In keeping with the fun candy theme of my living room decor I decided to make candy holders that look like candy

I was in the middle of tossing out 2 used paper towel rolls when it hit me.. not the towels, the idea to cut each one in half and then each half in half (am I confusing or what)
I then gathered up the following
Some reeces mini cups
Some red paper fill
Some tissue paper
Some curly ribbon
8 white address labels
This project required NO glue or tape... wahooo!


So taking the roll I filled it with some red filler and 3 reeces


I then laid out the tissue paper  and rolled it around the candy filled roll
I then twisted the ends and tied them with ribbon


I then took the address label and cut it longways in 5 strips and put them around the roll ~ off center!
I think they turned out cute and I know that my guests for Christmas Eve will love them!
