Here’s a "sweet" alternative to giving fresh flowers. Great for Mother’s Day, Teacher Appreciation Week, party favors, etc.

They are super easy to make and will for sure sweeten up someone's day. 

Here's what you'll need:

 

Instructions:

Cut a circle out of felt (should be a smaller diameter than your flower petals) and glue it to the stick (if your stick has a pointy end - glue this side onto the circle).

I used the hot glue gun to stick the chocolate on but waited until it cooled a bit so it didn’t melt the chocolate. (If you feel it melts your chocolates, scotch tape may work better.)

I wrapped jute twine around the top to keep it from looking like an old food jar. Fasten it in place with hot glue. For other fun ways to recycle old jars, check out this post.
