Today I was at Kroger and saw a candy themed vase just like this for $24.99! I couldn’t believe my eyes! I decided to come home and create my own for only a fraction of the cost. I have two major CHOCOHOLICS at my house who are going to love this for Valentines Day! This is the photo before of my supplies and after!

Glass Vase – Free from my house

Tissue – $.25 from Dollar General
1 bag Christmas Hershey Kisses, $1.25 from Kroger
4 Hershey Bars, FREE from Meijer
2, Reeses Cups, $.25 each
3, Snickers, FREE from Kroger
Total Out of Pocket: $3.25
Amount Saved: $21.74!

What a great idea. This is definately a fun cheap idea. I may have to do something like this for my son’s teacher. I think she would love it.
I think she would too!
I showed this to my teenage daughter – she will be them for our homeschool co-op teachers and putting the candy cane heart in the arrangement also.
Love it!
Oh yes! I need to add the candy cane heart for sure!

I just taped them
or you could use your hot glue gun and glue the wrapper to the dowel
