Valentine Candy Airplane & Runway
Great DIY Valentine gift for the pilot of your heart. Many ways to make these, but I just used up some left over Christmas and previous candy bouquet goodies. This method is also not meant to be edible once completed, so if you want to make something to be dismantled and eaten, please opt for the Smarties and Lifesaver option noted in my blog post. I went a little "off the flight plan" by making a sparkly runway, aviator couple and pilot themed card to help present this gift to my husband. This also makes for an ultra "fly" (to use a 1970's term-lol) cute blog. Read the blog post about this here: https://sparklebymonica.wordpress.com/2016/02/16/diy-candy-airplane-for-valentines-day/ If you make one of these tins, please hashtag #SparkleByMonica at Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest or Instagram so I can see your design. -
Soda Pop Candy Bouquet
Recently revised & shortened. A "sweet" idea I saw on YouTube from Tyra Washington's channel, combining my 2 fav things...candy and soda. A versatile way to personalize a nifty treat for someone who enjoys certain candies and pop drinks. Great for holidays, Get Well gifts (as long as it's not dental surgery- giggles), birthdays, bridal and baby showers, door prizes, tablescape centerpieces, and any occasion where something sweet is needed. This one is for a co-worker's December birthday, so I made it a red and green holiday candy bouquet. Make it sparkly! -
Ice Cream Sundae Bouquet Using Dum Dums & Tootsie Roll Lollipops
Great gift for one person for all occasions, especially birthdays or get well gifts. Very cool to use a glass ice cream sundae dish which can easily be ordered online, purchased at Ebay or found at a Goodwill or other thrift store. Great vintage look. Any suckers you prefer, but this version has Dum-Dums lollipops and Tootsie Roll Pops as well as some marshmallow suckers for the 2nd version. Inspiration to use a sundae dish came from Rada Cutlery video, so view here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3DnOUiFZKY -
M&M and Snickers Candy Bouquet
Updated tutorial showing how to make a candy bar bouquet using Snickers and Peanut M&M candies. You can tweak it to any candy bar, candy bags and candy boxes. Be creative with someone's favorite candies. You don't have to spend a fortune on vases. Use spare vases from home or find great ones at the dollar store or Goodwill. Great alternative to flowers for most occasions. Please like, comment and subscribe. Visit me on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest & Instagram. -
Chocolate Dipped Strawberries with Wilton Melting Pot
A tutorial showing you how to make some chocolate dipped strawberries for Christmas, other holidays and events. These are great gifts for all occasions and are way less expensive if homemade vs. purchased online or in edible arrangement stores. Watch to the end for my examples of other designs like my Twilight themed baseballs, “feathery” Isle Esme berries, Tuxedo and Wedding dress berries among others. Please view my other videos for more Christmas or crafty dessert gifts. Also don't forget to check out my handmade jewelry with A Touch of Sparkle by Monica. Thanks for watching! -
Candy Christmas Tree
A tutorial on how to make a potted Christmas tree with candy bars and small candies. This is a great table centerpiece idea, Christmas gift or tablescape themed piece. Can be potted in ceramic vases, tin pots, large themed boxes or anything that can act as an anchor for the candy tree.

Express: How to Make a Dum-Dum Lollipop Topiary
Here's the short non-video clip version. About 3 minutes through Animoto just using pictures and text which will be quick.

Dum-Dum Lollipop Topiary Tree- 12 min.

This is a long version at almost 13 minutes and tomorrow I'll post one through Animoto just using pictures and text which will be shorter, too. The birthday gal really enjoyed this sucker topiary tree, so I'm glad I got to make it.

How to Make a Vine Wreathe Reusable for All Seasons
These were made using wreathe forms consisting of vine that I bought at Hobby Lobby, with one 40% off coupon. I got several sprigs of fall foliage on sale at Hobby Lobby as well as some flowers,ribbon, sparkly tulle and faux birdies at the Dollar Tree. This was a free-form design on both wreathes. I've never made any before, so I'm quite pleased with how well they turned out. None of the embellishments are permanent. So after I get a Christmas tree up, I can easily change out the look of both wreathes. I had lots of flowers left over and rather than take them back for refunds, I decided to sprinkle them throughout my house in vases as well as placing some in pots in my front and back yards.

Beading Storage & Inexpensive Findings
So glad I came across a fellow YouTuber's review vlog of some handy storage container carriers and findings. I followed her lead and ordered the headpins and jumprings multi packs (along with a bunch of neat lampwork glass Christmas beads) from Oriental Trading...and went to Harbor Freight to pick up these 10 Tray Utility Boxes with my 20% off coupon. All excellent purchases! Since The Frugal Crafter's video didn't get much into the size of the boxes, I decided to make this brief vlog to fill in the blanks. So far, I'm loving my purchases and may even go back to pick up a few more boxes at Harbor Freight. I'm not sponsored by Harbor Freight or Oriental Trading, but I sure do love their products for organizing and creating my handmade jewelry! Thanks again for your tips, Lindsay Weirich- The Frugal Crafter! You rock!

2016 Lilly Pulitzer Lisa Jacobs Planner Review and DIY Paper Clips
FINALLY got my 2016 planner review and DIY paper clip tutorial completed. This is my first vlog on this topic and I must admit to being a stationery addict, so planner and planner supplies are favorites of mine. I missed Lilly's August agenda notifications, so I'm once again only using mine Jan-Dec and missing those first few academic year months, but it's all good. This year, in addition to a new Lilly planner, I also snagged a copy of Lisa Jacobs planner which is really more of a workbook for creative artisans and entrepreneurs looking to motivate and accelerate your craft business. Great tips in there so far and I am already putting some of those to good use as I re-vamp my handmade jewelry hobby into a full time biz. I've seen so many peeps making cute little paper clips for their planners and such. Since I make hairbows and also have a ton of ribbons and buttons, I decided to include a few options I made using glue and wire to attach lovely sparkles to the clips. Enjoy! Have a sparkle-riffic year, everyone! Follow me! -
Gifts for Crafters: DIY Bead Storage Mat Embellishment Tin Tutorial
DIY bead storage tutorial: thoughtful gift for beaders, jewelry makers, scrapbookers and any crafter that works with small pieces and embellishments. A beading instructor gave me this simple tin with a piece of felt glued to the inside and I've used that wonderful gift ever since. I've even made a few more for myself as well as my own new jewelry students. To complete this considerate gift, pair this DIY crafter's tin with a small pair of scissors and a few strands of beads or packages of embellishments. Read the blog post about this here: https://sparklebymonica.wordpress.com... If you make one of these tins, please hashtag #SparkleByMonica at Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest or Instagram so I can see your design. Follow me!
