Craftykins // St. Patrick’s Day Candygram

Anyone who knows me knows that I have a major sweet tooth…so it’s probably no surprise that I like to celebrate holidays and birthdays {and hey, every day!} with fun candy.  What friend’s face wouldn’t light up after receiving a box full of favorite treats?!

So to make a candygram, all you need to do is a pick a favorite color of a friend or one that suits a holiday and run with it.  Green for St. Patrick’s Day seemed perfect for this time of year!

I love trips to the candy store, but even grocery and big box stores have many choices of multi-colored bags of candy that can be sorted and then used.

Before filling the boxes, I like to line the bottoms with patterned paper.  Just another way to add some more color…or even add a special little note if you’d like!

Then I fill the sections of the box to the brim.  This is my favorite part!  One bit of advice…avoid minty or cinnamon candy…those flavors can be really overpowering to the other candy.

After it’s all filled up, tie the box with a bow, munch on the leftovers, and gift!

Copyright © 2023 · Babiekins Magazine | A Trendsetting Kids' Fashion Magazine and Online Community for Parents and Children Alike · Since the Southern California birth of Babiekins in 2010, the magazine has grown from into an internationally-recognized print publication with a global circulation and now a thriving online community. We are more than a kids’ fashion magazine. We search everywhere for inspiration, and go beyond trends to bring you fashion, style, decor, design, books, DIY, parties, and playthings. Our readers look to us to keep up with the best and most up-to-date concepts in the children’s market worldwide. We have an eye for quirk. We’re high-fashion, but we value whimsy over tradition. Playful childhood is more important to us than making kids into copycat adults. We believe life is beautiful, life is valuable, and life changes when you see it through the eyes of a child. We seek to transcend skin color, language and zip codes and bring out the real, wild, magical creativity inherent in every child. And behind Babiekins is an optimistic team of mothers-turned-editors, working from home, often with our own little babiekins climbing on, under and around the desks. We want to encourage you, and challenge you to see something different — something special — in yourself and in this world we all share. Welcome to Babiekins!
