Button Bon Bons by Laura Bray
I love Valentine’s Day, but my hips don’t. If you give me a box of chocolates, I will eat it! So I whipped-up some calorie-free, faux chocolates. Tucked into an old chocolate box (of which I have more than a few, ahem), they make a darling Valentine vignette. Or pack up a few as party favors. Here’s the recipe:
Button Bon Bons
Ingredients:
- Brown felt, cut into 3″ circles. I just traced the bottom of a can to get my circle. Use light and dark brown colored felts for milk and dark chocolates! White works too.
- Needle & thread
- Stuffing
- Buttons. The colors in Buttons Galore & More Confection Button Jar are perfect!
- Mini-cupcake wrappers
- Craft glue
- Candy box
Instructions:
- Sew a running stitch around the outside of the felt circle. Pull ends like you are making a yo yo. Before tying them, stuff the bon bon .
- Sew buttons onto top of felt bon bon. Get creative! Stack them up!
- Apply some glue to the bottom of a mini-cupcake wrapper, and place the felt bon bon into the wrapper.
- Arrange the bon bons in a candy box.
- Enjoy them, guilt-free!
