I’m packing up all the pumpkins paraphernalia in the house this week and looking forward to decking my halls in the coming week. Here’s a little candy to start the holiday season off on the right foot. I love to decorate with candies for the holidays. It may be peppermint puffs for Christmas, Cadbury Eggs for Easter and rock candy for the 4th of July.
Here is a sample of ideas to decorate with candy that can then be enjoyed as a party goes on, or maybe after the presents are opened on Christmas morning.
I would double up with two vases, one larger than the other so the candy remains edible in the outer vase. (Here is an option from Pottery Barn.) This does get a little tricky when your little ones (or husband) get into the candy before you are ready to part with the display.
Lastly is a cute way to decorate with glass huricanes and wine glasses~ gumballs!
Happy Decorating!

I have never been very good with decorating for the Holdiays unless I can copy a picture, so thank you! These are some great ideas fo me to try!
Pretty ideas! I love decorating with candy!
I just love all these ideas!
These are beautiful ideas. The only problem with edible decor is that we…um…eat it before Christmas!
