If you like crafting and have a sweet tooth, you will love this book (and the giveaway we have at the end of the post!). Candy Aisle crafts is full of fun DIYs or in their words " extraordinary craft ideas from everyday supermarket items". Exactly the way we like it! Sometimes you see a craft online and want to replicate it but the matarials you need are just impossible to find, not with this book! Everything you will need is accessible in your local supermarket and we promise you a sweet and fun time recreating any of the delights.
Read on for a sneak peek of the book and A GIVEAWAY! Yes, one of you will be taking home this book. In the meantime, we can all try our hands at making the 2 cute candy crafts below.
Gumdrop Boat Cupcake Topper
Place this sweet little boat onto a cupcake frosted with light blue icing that’s been swept into peaks, like choppy water. If you can’t find Fruit Stripe gum, sour belt candy is another great option for the sail, as shown, opposite.
What you will need:
* scissors
* 1 piece of Fruit Stripe gum
* 1 toothpick
* 1 gumdrop
* 1 blue frosted cupcake
* 1 blue cupcake paper (optional)
* 1 eight-inch-long piece of baker's twine (optional)
* 1 gummy ring (optional)
Step 1.Cut the gum into a sail or flag shape.
Step 2.Poke a toothpick into the bottom left side.
Step 3.Poke the other end of the toothpick into the bottom of a gumdrop, which is the boat.
Step 4.Optional: Use scissors to cut wave shapes into the top of the blue cupcake paper and put it under the cupcake.
Step 5.Tie the twine around the gummy ring and poke the other end into the frosting.
Step 6.Put the completed boat onto the frosted top of the cupcake.
Triangle Cake Decoration
These triangular candies could represent trees for a modern Christmas dessert or simply be a graphic cake decoration.
What you will need:
* parchment paper
* 4 Jolly Rancher Bold Fruit
* Smoothie hard candies
* Scissors
Step 1. Preheat the oven to 275°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2. Put the Jolly Ranchers on the parchment in a row to create a tall rectangle. If making more than one at a time, put the candies on individual pieces of parchment, as shown.
Step 3. Place in the oven for 8 to 9 minutes. Remove and let cool for 1 minute.
Step 4. Using oven mitts, take the candy, still on the parchment paper, off the baking sheet, and cut it into a triangle shape (or two smaller triangle shapes) with scissors, cutting through the candy and parchment paper at the same time, as shown.
Step 5. Return to the baking sheet and let cool. Remove the parchment from the triangles.

What's better than a post about a great brand? A giveaway of course! We have teamed up with Judith and Amanda from Panda and the Sparrow and they are generously spreading the joy of bamboo kids clothing with this giveaway. One lucky winner will get an All in One (aka. Onsie), a blanket, body tee and a hat. An entire baby set! Plus, the winner gets to choose whatever colors and sizes they would need for their precious little one.
Well, from our own experience with bamboo (adult) clothing, (if you haven't experienced bamboo clothing you have to, it is seriously the softest ever), we concur with Panda and the Sparrow when they say that their clothing is as soft as cashmere! The kids wear is also naturally hypoallergenic and thermo regulating. Who would have guessed that the bamboo would be such a great material for incredible kids clothing.
So if you have not got your hands on Panda and the Sparrow's kids wear yet, we highly suggest you enter our giveaway. Good luck!
