Please note - This is not my idea, I found it while perusing Pinterest as is my want and just had to try it ………
However, the first hurdle was finding plain, foil wrapped chocolate cup sweets which was nigh on impossible, in the end I resorted to using Reese Peanut Butter Miniature Cups, which explains my use of yellow and orange materials in an effort to minimise and detract from the logos.
I cut the bottom of the hats using my ancient Stampin’ Up scallop edged punch, with a small daisy flower to decorate/disguise the top. If I had found plain, foiled sweets I don’t think I would have needed to do this, but hey ho. I wished I’d also got a few more of the orange pre-tied bows, but out of my big box I just had one!
I put an adhesive foam pad on the bottom of each cup and then stuck them in the middle of each scalloped circle, followed by a flower on the top.
As this was just an experiment, I wasn’t too precious with my Sharpie pen dots round the brim, if I were to repeat the idea again I would be more careful and precise with the dots or might even replace them with a few flat backed gems or tiny Fimo nail art flowers on something extra special.
However, in the long run, I think they work
Now …….. if I continue to look and find any said elusive plain, foil wrapped chocolates on my travels, I could perhaps turn them into sunhats for end of summer term fairing gifts for the staff at Iris and Bertie’s school ……. all eyes peeled then!
