Here's an easy and pretty way to dress up some simple candies for Valentine's Day. All you need is some colorful tissue or crepe paper, pretty ribbon in narrows widths, double-sided tape, and some round wrapped candies (I used Lindt chocolates).
Cut a rectangle of tissue that will completely encompass your chocolate when you wrap it (it should be slightly wider than your candy). Roll the candy (keeping it in the wrapper) in the paper, secure with a small piece of tape, and gently twist the ends. Secure each end with a small ribbon bow.
These are so simple, but look sooooo fancy!
Present them in a pretty dish or a small heart-shaped box with a millinery flower on top...
And these would make equally lovely favors for a wedding or party - just change out the colors to match your theme!
I am planning to do a Valentine shop update this weekend, so I'll let you know when it's ready to go!
XOXO
