Don't know about you but sometimes I find displaying suckers for a party a challenge. When helping my friend with her son's graduation party she asked for ideas on how to display suckers. I simply said in a glass jar or use a covered styrofoam form/block. And when I said that I was thinking covered in wrapping paper like a wrapped box. Well my friend had seen an idea she kept in her head using tulle squares and straight pins. I was extremely pleased with the outcome and see more sucker stands in my future! Ha!

scissors
Make it:
I started out covering all sides of the block except the top with scrapbook paper. The paper was the exact length of the block. I then trimmed the excess and used it to cut rectangles to fit the ends (the smaller pieces). I simply secured the paper to the block with thumb tacks.
Next I cut small rectangles of tulle( I eyeballed it!) and folded it up like you do a piece of tissue paper for a gift sack. Then I put a straight pin down the center of the tulle and into the styrofoam block. Wallah! I do think I could have done it a bit 'looser', it was pretty full! When I pushed in the suckers basically they were in between rows of tulle. Hope that makes sense!!
It really was very easy just a little time consuming!
But totally worth it, don't you think?
Happy Thursday lovelies!!
