Candy bottle present || DIY

DIYEveryone who knows me in person (or if you follow me on instagram), knows how much i love giving presents on birthdays in a fun and cute way. I bring it to a whole new level.

I have to warn you for the bad lighting, as I like to craft in night.. Oh and hey, it’s my first DIY post!

This is what you need:

Draw the name of the person or any word you want on the sticky paper.

Cut the letters with an exactor knife or with a pair of scissors. (I wouldn’t recommend scissors though..)

Place them nicely the way you want. It’s okay if it’s not perfectly in one straight line. (like how mine is)

Place a piece of tape on the place you don’t want to paint.

Now grab your paintbrush and let’s start painting!

Paint the part you want in any color of your choice. And let it dry for a day or during the night.

Peel the tape and the letters. Now you do have to be careful if you used thing letters. And depending on the paint you use, you have to watch out that you’re not peeling the paint off.

Now it’s time to wrap everything up! Take your presents out. And for this DIY I recommend small items.

Take some pieces of colored tissue papers. Just small pieces is enough.

And these colored/rainbow worms? Just to fill everything.

Now you don’t want the whole thing of the presents so cut it when it’s needed.

And fill it like a wanton. Or like it’s candy. You don’t want to use to much of the worms, it depends on the size of your paper. You don’t want it to be fat.

You can tie it the way you want and make some varieties! (Working small isn’t always that easy)

And if you like, write something on the tag.

I’ve put an extra layer of glaze on the bottle just to make sure it doesn’t peel of easily. It is optional to do so.

I hope you like it and enjoy it. And if you do this make sure to tag me with #little_missliu on any social media, I would love to see it!
