Nut and candy cups
Difficulty: Very Easy
Parental supervision is recommended
These nut and candy cups make great place settings for Boy Scouts' blue and gold banquets. This craft is also a perfect way to recycle used baby food jars.
What you'll need:
- Baby food jars, clean and dry
- 1/4" wide Yellow Ribbon
- 1/4" or 1/8" wide Blue Ribbon
- Small Cub Scout stickers (check your local Scout store or catalog)
- Scissors
- Ruler
- Nuts or small candies
How to make it:
- Cut a piece of ribbon about 20" in length out of both the blue and the yellow.
- Tie a knot around the threads of the jar using both ribbons (at the same time).
- Tie a bow using both of the ribbons. If desired, separate the ribbons to show the colors better.
- Apply one Cub Scout sticker to the jar.
- Fill with nuts or candy.
- Create as many jars as needed to complete your table setting.
- Place on the Blue and Gold Banquet table at each of the place settings.
Tips:
You may wish to save the (clean) baby food jar lids. Decorate the jar, fill with nuts or candy, and place the lid on for easy transport to your Blue & Gold Banquet.
Buy inexpensive ribbon at the fabric, craft, or even Wal-Mart. The spools hold about 10 yards and are approximately 50 cents.
