We went to the Home Depot workshop where Zander built and painted this sweetheart box. He decided to use it to make something special for his teachers for Valentine’s.
We added a Valentine’s message to his teachers and he signed the back.
To make your own bouquet of chocolate covered strawberries simply:
- Wash and dry your strawberries well (water on the berries will make it hard for the candy to stick to it)
- Insert a long lolly pop stick
into each strawberry. I didn’t have any so I used disposable chopsticks and they worked perfectly.
- Pick your favorite colors and flavors of candy melts
.
- Dip each strawberry into the melted chocolate.
- Tip: The chocolate will harden fairly quickly so you'll want to work fast to coat the strawberry and add sprinkles.
- Cut and insert a floral foam block
to fit inside your pot.
- Insert your chocolate dipped strawberries into the foam block.
- Add some pink shredded paper
to hide the foam block.
There you have it, a meaningful, beautiful AND delicious gift idea for someone special. It makes a great for Valentine's Day, teacher appreciation, or just because! What's your favorite handmade gift to give someone? We'd love to hear from you so leave us your comments below.
