I'm Still Here and Broquet DIY

I just realized it has been almost 2 months since my last post... way too long I know! For some reason in the past few months I have been lost as to what to post about, guess I've been having long term writers block. A lot in my life has changed in those last couple months, I moved to Dallas and started a new job. It has been crazy adjusting to my new schedule and new home but I'm finally getting into a good rhythm.

Here is a project I worked on a few weeks ago. As our anniversary was approaching my boyfriend and I decided to not go all out on expensive gifts for this one and put a $25 dollar limit on what we could get each other. I liked this plan because it took the pressure off and gave me the opportunity to get creative. What did I think I would get, my guess was of course roses and I was correct. Therefore I figured I would make a "broquet" as my gift, made of candy bars, slim jims, suckers and gum. It ended up being an easy and fun diy.

 

What you need:

• Wooden bbq skewers
• Hot glue
• Candy/snacks/ gifts of your choice (other options include alcohol minis, cigars, snacks, etc. whatever your guys favorites are)
•  Vase with a filler, I used tissue paper

 

The process is as simple as hot gluing the wooden skewers to the back of each treat, I cut the skewers into several sizes to make them display better in the vase. Let the glue dry and arrange in the vase and tie with a bow and you are finished. This gift was a huge hit with the boyfriend!

 

Happy Monday everyone!!
