Joellen and I decided we needed to make our own!
They were fun to make. We made a dozen of them in about an hour and a half (plus wasted time driving around town looking for Christmas ribbon!) I think it was much easier doing them together so we had extra hands. One person to hold while the other one glues... especially for the first step! First you glue a kitkat bar to two candy canes to create the base. We used hot glue and ran a strip of glue down each candy cane.
Next, attach 10 mini hershey bars on top, with just a drop of glue for each. You stack them in a pyramid, first 4, then 3, then 2, then 1, like this:
After all the glue is hard and secure, glue ribbon around your "packages" and a bow on the top. That's it! so cute and fun and your recipient can keep it as a decoration or take it apart and eat all the candy!
some of our finished sleighsI think you should all make some. Come on. You know you want to!
Oh, these are so adorable - I have to put this in my idea file for next year!
ReplyDeleteUGH! Don't show me THIS!!?? I don't have TIME to make any and now I really, really want to!!! But there is always next year. Right?
ReplyDeleteThese are adorable! I would love to make some if I can find the time! Maybe I'll put it on my list of things to do on the 23rd or 24th...
ReplyDeleteHey! Made 4 of them this evening. My helper was getting bored. Lol! I will continue tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteWow! These are cute! Great idea.....thanks for sharing it.
ReplyDeleteDoes the glue gun melt the chocolate? Is it hard to pull apart and eat??
ReplyDeleteThanks!
I made these and used glue dots, from oriental trading, It was alot easier and I didn't have to worry about the heat.
DeleteI absolutely love this idea. I'm going to do this for the girls at work as a secret Santa gift! Thanks for this perfect idea. Your AWESOME! !!!!!!!!
DeleteYour AWESOME! What an excellent idea. I'm gonna make them for my co-workers at work as a Secret Santa gift. Thank you ever so much!!!!
DeleteI absolutely love this idea. I'm going to do this for the girls at work as a secret Santa gift! Thanks for this perfect idea. Your AWESOME! !!!!!!!!
Deleteno, not at all! I don't use a lot of glue, just a drop to hold them together & the wrappers protect the chocolate (I would have answered you privately but you are a no reply blogger, no email given)
ReplyDeleteits great that you replied here because I was wondering too! thank you!
DeleteI was wondering that too thanks for answering it
Deletegreat idea for Cub Scout to do with seniors for Christmas
DeleteWhat a wonderful idea! My daughter works with seniors and I work with children.
DeleteI was also wondering if glue wont melt the chocolate.
Very cute and creative.
Thank you so much for sharing.
I just Love this, and I'm glad U answered that question on here for I was wondering the same thing, Thanks
DeleteDon't forget to add the chocolate Santa to drive the sled.
Deletethese are very cute and could be customized for each person. I am thinking I would glue the little gum packs....the "old timey" kind that have 5 sticks in each pack...juicy fruit and double mint....instead of the chocolate bars....you could also probably use glue dots from the scrap book section of your hobby store if you didnt want to use hot glue but I bet the glue is stronger...thanks! I think I will try this too!
ReplyDeleteI was also thinking to use the glue dots. Especially for little helpers.
DeleteOh they look like my new Christmas place cards to me. Lol. I love them
DeleteHow cute! I'd be tempted to eat the candy along the way ;)
ReplyDeleteOMG! I love this and am making some tonight. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI just made a fun little Youtube video using your creative idea. Thank you so much for sharing. I had a lot of fun making these. They are just to darling to not make. These were a must even if they were made last minute.
ReplyDeleteHere is my Youtube video:

LOVE this idea! Don't know if I'll get around to them this year, but if not, then NEXT! Thanks for sharing how!... Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas! ~tina
ReplyDeleteThese are so cute and look easy enough I think even I can do them. Thanks for posting them. You seem to be such a crafty person. Great job.irjtn@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteI'm always looking for great ideas for each place setting at Xmas dinner. I'm doing this tonight.....thanks
ReplyDeleteGreat idea fir the dinner table.
DeleteI just made these today for the ladies at my son's daycare! They are quick and easy! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThank-you so much for this easy and original idea......just the thing to make last minute or stick in a basket to finish it off....I just made a bunch to give out and they were so easy and turned out so cute...Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteSo cute and easy. These were a big hit. Thanks! :)
ReplyDeleteToo cute! I will definitely have to try this Christmas 2012! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeletethis is such a cute idea. I will have to remember it for next Christmas. thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat idea! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLove this. Very creative. This is a great gift. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThey are great!!! Going to make some this year for Christmas gifts.
ReplyDeleteI think I'll add a name tag for the kids to find their seats at the table for dinner. cute idea!
ReplyDeleteDid anyone try glue or some other, non-hot type glue? I would like to make with my kindergarten class. Not to heap on the hot glue. Need ideas
ReplyDeleteHow about the clear dots they use for scrapbooking?
DeleteI am definitely going to make these. So cute, so simple. Thanks for the idea and pictures.
ReplyDeleteTry using one of the small "cool" glue guns as opposed to a "hot" glue glum. They work great for things like this.
ReplyDeleteTry using one of the small "cool" glue guns as opposed to a "hot" glue glum. They work great for things like this.
ReplyDeleteI love this idea, but I think I'll use rubber cement instead.
ReplyDeleteOH!!! Just in time for Christmas :)
ReplyDeleteGoing to make these for my mothers group and stocking fillers for my niece and nephews!
Love this idea... But wouldnt have a clue were 2 find mini hershies bars... Would love 2 make them :)
ReplyDeleteMini hersheybar are in the Halloween candy section at Wal Mart.
DeleteWalmart is a good place to find all candies. Around Halloween, it should be out on the shelves.
DeleteWhere do you find candy canes like those???
DeleteWhat a super idea, I think time allowing i'll have a go at these if i can find the candy canes. thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteSue x
These are adorable! Have to make some for the senior christmas party!
ReplyDeleteI think I will have to try these
ReplyDeleteI passed this blog on to my Gr. \niece in Ottawa she loves to do all sorts of things for the first time so she will love these tnx for posting Fran
ReplyDeleteThese are awesome! I found these on pinterest but have traced it back here, and I've shared the idea on my blog too! fridayisforeverblog.com xx
ReplyDeleteThese are cute. I did something simular last year. I used candy canes as a sled. Took different size round styrofoam balls and made snow men. Put a hat, scarf on the snowmen. They were really cute also but only last for the season as the candy canes discolored when I took them out the next year.
ReplyDeleteLove this. Very creative. This is a great gift. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHas anyone tried them with glue dots or something other than a glue gun?
ReplyDeleteI plan on making these with my daughter. They look real cute and as a first time crafter I'm hoping they won't be to hard to assemble.
ReplyDeleteOne comment was about using rubber cement. I don't think I would do that, as it has a strong odor that the chocolate will pick up and I don't believe it is nontoxic. I would stick with (no pun intended!) low melt hot glue or glue dots. I use these to make juice box trains and robots. The only problem I have found with the hot glue is if you live in a cold area and they are exposed to a great change in temperature, which causes the items to come apart. Tacky glue would work, but it doesn't dry that quickly. Since these are also tied with ribbon, it should be fine.
ReplyDeleteHow did you make juicebox trains & robots? This is a great idea! Thank you
DeleteDouble sided tape worked great for me :)
ReplyDeleteThat's what I think I'll use. Don't have a glue gun Thanks
Delete"I think you should all make some. Come on. You know you want to!"
ReplyDeleteFunny you should say that. :) My Mum saw this on Pinterest and emailed it to me and we're going to have a go at making a few of these. It's such a lovely idea and doesn't look too complicated either.
This is a great idea for stocking stuffers or gifts for the Teachers! I will be making some shortly. Thanks for the creativity!
ReplyDeleteI am a school bus driver and try to do something special at christmas... I think I have just found it!
ReplyDeleteI bought a roll of "glue dots" for just such a project as this! I am definitely going to make some!
ReplyDeletewhere did you get the tiny bows? I have been looking all over the place for them?
ReplyDeleteWalgreens has them
Deletethanks for all of the recent comments! Since many of you are no reply bloggers, I haven't been able to email you. boohoo. I do believe I found the tiny bows at Walmart last year, in their holiday wrapping section....
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. This is such an affordable gift for a lot of people.
ReplyDeleteWe had a go at these this afternoon and we're so pleased with how they turned out. I thought we'd gone a bit overboard with the supplies, but most of it did get used.
ReplyDeleteI think it's safe to say that these sleighs will become another one of our Christmas traditions. :)
I plan to fill boxes with these and send them to my son who is stationed overseas. He and especially his fellow Airmen love getting treats! I always send an extra box for him to share.....it's a great idea for deployed also, just change it up a bit with less chocolate - like one poster wrote, use gum, or other items. Great idea! thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to use the Scotch Quick dry Adhesive, drys quick and secure
ReplyDeleteWhat size candy canes? the normal ones like at walmart?
ReplyDeleteLove these. Found you through Facebook via Sherry Godsey. I am going to be your newest follower. Please stop by and follow along with me. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteOmg I love them I'm gonna surprise my little ones I know they will love the whole idea of the sleight...thanks great idea!!
ReplyDeleteI use glue dots for my candy creations. Not hot mess. Easier for kids. :)
ReplyDeleteI live in a Mobile Home Park for the elderly. I think this is a great idea to make for everyone and give out as a little treat. Thank you for the fantastic idea.
ReplyDeleteI'm making these for my residents at my apt.bldg. Thank you for the instructions!
ReplyDeleteThese are so cute. Going to make some with my grandson. Keep the ideas commming.
ReplyDeleteThese are so cute! Great idea to make and give to the family. I don't have much money, so these would be just the right thing I could do. Even though everyone is older, but I know they'll love it. Thanks for sharing.

I just love these. Going to make them with my granddaughter (4 yrs old) and my nephew (3 yrs old). They are going to give them to their teachers and bus driver. We will use either glue dots or double sided tape. I am also going to make some for the ladies at the office. Thanks so very much for sharing the idea.
ReplyDeleteFor those not wanting to use hot glue, Glue Dots(http://www.gluedots.com/glue.html)are an alternative. They are really strong. They are at Michael's and Hobby Lobby and other craft stores.
ReplyDeleteEllyn, I think I met you a few times at Bring and Brag at Q.A. when I lived in TX. I recognized Joellen. :) Nice to see you have a blog!
I just made a half dozen of these. I ran out of glue sticks so I started taping down the small bars and it worked perfect. I plan on making more and I will just glue down the large bar onto the candy canes and use tape for the rest. I also used some Reese's Peanut butter cups as well as Kit-Kats. I added a small Santa bar on the front as well.
ReplyDeletei think i am going to do this for my son's teachers, at the moms morning out program. instead of a regular sized candy bar i am going to use a starbucks gift card, just making them smaller. i also will be using double sided tape.maybe i can make a pipe cleaner reindeer to drive it....lol.
ReplyDeleteAny ideas for a person with diabetes?
ReplyDeleteUse sugar free candy canes and sugar free candy
DeleteI love this! Thank you for the easy step by step. Tammy ~ http://www.yoursandmineareours.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteI am going to make this for my class, such a great present idea.
ReplyDeleteToo cute! I'm going to make them and put placecards on them for our Christmas dinner table

ReplyDeleteUsing glue dots to keep it kid friendly, we made dozens for classmates. Thanks for the inspiration we posted links back at thebestkidscrafts.com/candy-cane-crafts-sled.html
ReplyDeleteEven my boyfriend was oohing and aahing over how adorable these are. So awesome, so fun, so easy, so so so rewarding. Thanks for this. You are officially the COOLEST person...ever!
ReplyDeleteWe just made 12 of these and we loved it, very easy. We even made a special one for Lanie who can't have chocolate or nuts, we used tic-tac and life saver rolls looks as cute as the rest. Thank you so much for this idea. Merry Christmas.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the suggestions for non chocolate sleighs, plan on making them for members of group we attend and 5 people are unable to eat chocolate.
DeleteI used a hot glue gun, but I froze the chocolate before assembling, and there was no melting! These came out so cute and were actually pretty easy to make without a helper. Thanks for the wonderful idea!
ReplyDeleteAwesome idea. Every year i try to come up with something cute to give my coworkers. I just made 12 of these and it was very easy. Thanks for the idea.
ReplyDeleteI made these for my friends. I used double stick tape instead of hot glue. I bought the candy on sale and spent $21.00 so for ten sleighs it was $2.10. Not bad for ten gifts and they were a hugh hit
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting.. I am making 18 of these as we speak LOL
ReplyDeleteI am making some tonight for work!!
ReplyDeleteI saw these on your blog yesterday and rushed out to get the supplies. My son and I made 12 of them this morning and they came out so cute. They were so quick and fun to do!!! I did half of them with the regular Kit-Kat and half with the white chocolate Kit-Kat. We also put a small chocolate Santa (perfect size for the sleigh) on the front. The only thing we used the glue gun for was the candy canes. For the rest we used a crafters adhesive roller. So easy and no mess. Thanks for the great idea and perfect instructions.
ReplyDeleteThe above post is mine as well as this one. My husband took my daughter out just a bit ago to deliver these to her friends. They were a HUGE hit!! (the parents loved them as well). On the way home my husband called me and said that our daughter wants to make some more for other friends - - so they stopped off at the store and found everything they needed to make another batch. But no worries...they are easy and done in a flash. Two dozen this year.
ReplyDeleteThese are just adorable! Thanks for the detailed instructions! Just a quick note to let you know my sister in law made these for all of the kids this year and they were a big hit. I posted a picture of her creation on my blog, but gave a link to you for credit. Have a happy New Year!

to make these even more affordable, but still adorable, i didn't use the full-size kitkats. i used the smaller ones (2 sticks per wrapper) and glued 2 of them side by side onto a small piece of hard paper. then i did my layers of hershey miniatures, 3, then 2, then 1. turned out just as cute but ended up costing about
ReplyDelete$1 per sled :)
I made a few of these for Christmas 2012, they were a big hit with all my family, both kids and adults. My little sister took her sleigh to a school show&tell.
ReplyDeleteNice pack and wonderful unique idea when ever i book flights to Islamabad from Heathrow i bought a gifts out side the airport for my parents and friends in Pakistan.
ReplyDeleteMaking for Christmas 2013. Thanks to you for your creativity and pinterest for the place I found it.
ReplyDeleteAwesome so doing this, this year!!!😁
ReplyDeleteIm so doing this for my family and my husbands family this year he has a bigger family than me and we don't have much money and these look so cute
ReplyDeleteOh My Goodness!!!! I am going to make these!!!!! Such a great idea for my students and my daughter will love these for her work too!!!! Thank you very much for sharing!!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI love this idea, my mom and I are going to make some of these for my mother's friends and neighbors. I am also going to make some for my grandson's friends in High School. I know they will love it. He is always looking for something to give them so they know he thought of them, but can't spend much money. (mostly the girls :o)} This is perfect. Also, great gift for teachers for my younger granddaughters. Thanks for this wonderful idea.
ReplyDeletethank you so much for sharing this i so want to make some
ReplyDeleteIf you are concerned about the hot glue melting the chocolate use small pieces of double sided tape. That is what I did when I made this years ago..
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting this easy and beautiful craft I am a firefighter and in charge of the Breakfast with Santa our event is greatly expanding each year and this is a wonderful and new idea...I would love to see some more of your ideas

ReplyDeleteHow creative, I will try them this year and put as table decorations at our club
ReplyDeleteGreat ideal thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI'd make them, although I'd probably be more tempted to pull them apart and eat them as well. I find that I tend to eat more candy at Easter and Christmastime than any other time of the year
ReplyDeleteThat is so utterly adorable!!!
ReplyDeleteI WILL DEFINITELY MAKE THEM FOR THE LITTLE ONES AT CHURCH!!! A WONDERFUL IDEA AND SO CUTE!!!!!THANKS SO MUCH!!!!
ReplyDeleteI will surely make these for my grandchildren and for the people at the bingo hall I hope they will like them

ReplyDeleteThese will be GREAT for my 1 st grader to hand out to all the teachers & lunch helpers & office staff this year!!! Loved your STEP BY STEP pictures to guide us. Thank You! Tina from MI
ReplyDeleteThese are so cute. I'm thinking glue dots would work especially if you're working with children making these.
ReplyDeleteGoing to do this with the kids and super sticky double sided tape. LOVE IT.
ReplyDeletethey r so cute. I found what iam doing this yr. I like making new things thanks for sharing ann, I love all the things you share. my grandbabys are going to love them. ;)
ReplyDeleteThese are absolutely adorable!!!
ReplyDeleteYou could also use glue dots or strips (found at Michael's / Walmart / Hobby Lobby.
ReplyDeleteThis is a fantastic idea to do with our gs troop
ReplyDeleteI m going to make some for my kids school.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to make these - I know they will be a big hit at the fairs I do!!! thanks for such a fantastic idea!
ReplyDeleteYou can also use glue dots to glue the candy bar to the candy canes and the smaller ones on top. This is so cute! Definitely making these!
ReplyDeleteThankyou, What a great idea; I will make them for Christmas, and use them as Placecard's, at my Dinner table, I'll bet everyone will enjoy that.

ReplyDeleteI have a daycare and I am going to make these!!
T
his is a great idea! I have a daycare and I am going to make some.
Oh This is a great Marketing idea for Xmas time. Great way to show your clients Xmas spirit :)
ReplyDeleteYou could put a gift card in between the kit kat and hershey layer to make a gift card feel like more of a present!
ReplyDeleteI didn't read all of the comments, so someone else might have asked this already. Wonder if you could use double-sided sticky tape to hold everything together? Hot glue guns and I are mortal enemies! lol
ReplyDeleteHi, absolutely love this idea and will definitely be making some. Just a quick question, I'm in the UK so we don't have mini Hershey bars, anybody else from the UK made these? And if so what did you use? :) x
ReplyDeleteWow,,,guess I should have waited til closer to Xmas so I dont have to wrap all the little chocolate bars

ReplyDeleteit would be a great idea to make for the XMAS Bazaar....what would be a fair price to sell them?

ReplyDeleteFor all of you looking for the mini Hershey's bar, check online. I found this site in the UK.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.americansweets.co.uk/hersheystwizzlers-10-c.asp
If concerned about the hot glue melting the chocolate, maybe glue dots could be used. If I make them, that is what I will use.
ReplyDeleteI just made 60 of these sleighs. I tied ribbon just around the candy bars then used small dots of hot melt glue to secure the candy canes. Then added the bow. Worked perfectly and I could do it by myself.
ReplyDeleteall set to make some, buy cant find the mini chocolate bars, Anyone know where to get them. please let us know
ReplyDeleteCute! I'm going to make them for all of my son's teachers and aides and therapists! Wow, that's going to be a lot of candy! I'm a bit worried about the hot glue, since I'm not very coordinated to get only a dot on there (I tend to end up with a big glob!), but I did get some of the small glue dots, so might try both and see which works best.
ReplyDeletemade theses to day for geandkids so cute. thanks for shareing
ReplyDeleteFor those of you in Australia I just found packs of the mini Hershey bars at our local Reject Shop (one of our "dollar stores").
ReplyDeleteHappy crafting and Merry Christmas!!
Just got done making 9 of these for my grandsons' classmates in preschool...eeeeasy and fast. I bought a "party size" bag of Hershey's minis, after Halloween for 1/2 price and it was enough to do 11 sleds without using any of the peanut bars since schools ban peanuts due to possible allergies. I'll definitely be making these again...there are so many possible uses. Fundraising, gifts, name place card holders, party favors, gift card holders.
ReplyDeleteI'm in the UK and am looking for an alternative to mini hershey bars as all the ones from the UK are very expensive. So I was wondering what else is the same size?
ReplyDeleteThanks :)
I used mini soaps (in boxes), notepads, santa tea light candles for mine - you can use just about anything as long as your dimensions are right!!
ReplyDeleteIn the process of making 30. They are going to be favors at our X -Mas party at work. Thank you for the idea.
ReplyDeleteI love these! Found them on Pinterest. I made 22 of them and took them to the icu nursing staff. My husband has been with them for 38 days and they are wonderful. (Glad to report he is making progress after a very scary time.) The nurses there last night loved them and I'm sure the others will also! I didn't use the ribbons and bows and I know they would have been cuter with them but I didn't have the time or energy to go searching. Also I only used of the small sized bars since they are expensive and I was making so many...still cute!
ReplyDeleteInstead of using hot glue, maybe double sided tape would work?
ReplyDeleteI will be making 16 of these and will be trying the double sided tape with so transparent tape on the part holding the cane to the kit kat. I am hoping it works out. I will let you know. Thanks for the idea!
ReplyDeleteI just made ten of these last night - and will add the finishing ribbon and bow to the last eight today. I am NOT a crafty person at all, so I am happy to report they came out great! I made them for my bosses and coworkers. For all concerned about using hot glue, I used my hot glue gun and hot glue with no problems whatsoever.
ReplyDeleteI just found these and am going to make them. Think they are adorable! Can't wait to start them today and pass them out to my neighbors tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteBrenda
We made 102 of these for the residents at my assisted living center. Absolute hit!
ReplyDeletehas anyone from australia tried to do these... what chocolate bars did you use please
ReplyDeleteHave you seen how many times this has been posted to Pinterest? Neat gauge on how well you're doing! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteHow cute these are!! This Nana is going to make these for my two AWESOME grandbabies School Christmas Party... Thank you!! :O)
ReplyDeleteI belong to a well known ladies group, and have been asked to help with the Christmas decoration. I plan on making these this year (2014) and place one at each place on the table. Plus I am thinking of making the light bulb penguins, with a silver ribbon attached to the sleigh as though he is pulling the sleigh. this should be very, very cute. can't hardly wait to see the expressions on every ones face thanks so much for posting this cute idea.
ReplyDeletewhat kind of mini hersheys did you buy exactly im just wondering i saw mr.goodbar but what were the others?
ReplyDeletewhat chocolate do i use
ReplyDeleteI was surfing the internet looking for a little present I could make to give to my good friends at school, and these are perfect! Tonight I made 12 of the bases (have to finish them tomorrow after school), but I couldn't find any hersheys :( So I used Cadbury Dairy Milk Bars with some freddo frogs and mini mars bars!
ReplyDeleteCute as. It's a brilliant idea. Love it!
I think a little chocolate Santa on top would be cute, too!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cute idea, will have to try "ASAP". Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI was trying to come up with a creative, inexpensive gift for co-workers. They all love candy so this will be perfect!
ReplyDeleteThey are the perfect gift to give out to my dart mates. Cant wait to start have heaps to make. Thanks for sharing and have a very merry Christmas and a happy new year, I know I will now...lol
ReplyDeleteI made these for my son's xmas at school and they were a hit!! I am the worst crafter there is and I did quite well as your instructions and pictures were excellent! Thank you for sharing and helping me to have a little more confidence to try more craft projects. Great!!
ReplyDeleteJust made up 10 of these for my granddaughter's birthday party tomorrow. What a fun little party favor this time of year!!
ReplyDeleteI thought this to be a great idea and I made some for my Card Club (Canasta) and they loved them. Then I made my Ladies Sunday School Class some and both loved them. So, that will be on my list next year to make again. Thanks for sharing this great idea!! Love it!!
ReplyDeleteI think I will make some of these for the little ones around my house as well as putting one in my mail box for Christmas.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't the hot glue melt the chocolate?
ReplyDeleteIm going to try scotch taping the candy canes to the both sides of the kit Kat. :)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely adorable & definitely going to make some of these. I have something similar to this that was on the back of a candy cane box but never got around to doing it and it was in living color like these. Thanks for your post.
ReplyDeleteUse the not so hot glue gun, it won't scald your skin if touched but warm enough to melt the glue. I have both.
ReplyDeleteIs the candy hard to get loose from the glue is someone chooses to eat it?
ReplyDeleteto those of you who want to know if the candy melts the answer is no i have made these 2 yrs in a row and gave them as gifts to my co-workers and they loved them who doesn't like chocolate
ReplyDeleteLove these! Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteno it is easy they just pull away from the candy wrapper
ReplyDeleteI totally love this! It will be perfect as part of my book tour next year to promote my children's Christmas book. Jason, Lizzy & the Snowman Village!
ReplyDeleteI made these last year.Gave them as something a little extra for my neices and nephews and to teachers. Super cute!
ReplyDeleteI **LOVE** this idea! I may just have to do this for my family and friends.
ReplyDeleteThank you ladies!!
Makes a great stocking stuffer, a great simple gift when you need one in a hurry.( that is if you keep a few made up)can decorate the tree and then enjoy later. This is something your kids could help with if your not using hot glue but glue dots. great teacher gifts that your kids can give.
ReplyDeleteHow Awesome & Affordable Thank You Ellyn For Sharing this!! God Bless your Heart!
ReplyDeleteI just found these yesterday. I went out and bought the components immediately! Last night I made 10 sleighs and they are so cute! I wasn't able to find the Santas quite yet but I'm sure I will come across them this week. These will be favors for a Christmas Party I'm attending. We all bring something and these would be really cute to share with these gals. Thank you for posting.
ReplyDeleteThese are the cutest things ever and so easy to make. I made 35 of them last weekend and used double sided tape instead of the glue gun. It was so much easy and so fun. I mixed it up by putting different candies in--anything flat will work just great! I can't wait to give these out to people!
ReplyDeleteYou could use two way tape instead of glue...
ReplyDelete
