Football Candy Bar Bouquet

Oh we are definitely having some football fever over here! Ahhhh! We are counting down to the big game this weekend. I don’t think I have ever been so excited for the game. mainly because my home team is in it!  I thought I’d share a quick post and share the Football Candy Bar Bouquet I whipped together for Sunday. It was super easy to make and would work great as a centerpiece.

Football Candy Bar Bouquet

I started with a pack of Hershey Bars and wrapped them in brown construction paper. Then I added some white ‘laces’. I used my Silhouette to cut mine out but you could easily just use scissors. Then I wrapped the paper around the bars and taped a wooden skewer inside.

For the stand I filled a glass vase (you can find this at the Dollar Tree) with mixed nuts and then poked the skewers in and filled it with green tissue paper. To hide the sticks and paper ends I just wrapped a simple piece of burlap ribbon around the top.

Cute centerpiece idea for the big Football Game!

Football Candy Bouquet! Looks easy too!

I’m ready!!! Are you hosting a party?

Staircase reveal part one! SWIPE for the before an Staircase reveal part one! SWIPE for the before and to see all the details. This has been a major project over the course of the last 7 months, and it has been so exciting to see it all come together. My goal was to create an elegant and timeless look to our staircases, adding character with unique features of the railings, classic neutral runners with gold stair rods to complete the look and a moment for the large luxe chandelier that you can see from the courtyard. And of course a fresh look with smooth creamy walls. 

But I’m not entirely done just yet! Part 2 will be coming in 2026!
