Candy Elephants

Day 4.

Candy Elephants

 

Elephants will be part of a recurring theme in this blog so as to remind you of why my exploration for gifts made in the USA began in the first place. Today I would like to offer up my first do-it-yourself craft gift and it seemed fitting to use an elephant design in the process. We’re going to make some candy elephant pops as a sweet way to fill a gift mug. This is an example of a gift you can make entirely using American made components. What’s really nice about a project like this is you can personalize it with themes and shapes that relate directly to your recipient. Also, it can be as simple or elaborate as you like. What we’ll demonstrate here is on the simpler side just to show the basic technique and supplies. It’s a great idea to have a few of these mugs prepared and at the ready as gifts for co-workers, teachers, your hairstylist or anyone who helps you throughout the year as a token of your appreciation during the holidays. It’s especially nice when you make something from your heart that is a personalized gift to say thank you to that person, so I hope this video helps to get you started…

 

 

There are so many options when it comes to molds, flavors and food colorings that you are only limited by your own creativity. I hope you’ll enjoy making some candy gifts of your own soon!
