if its the ones im thinking of hun theycan be used for trees but you will need to use the smallest ball (8cm) and a thinner smaller stick not sure if i have a pic but will check xx

Thank you Brilly, How many sweets do you reckon on the 8cm ball? probably a similar size to Ferrero Roch? Sorry to be a pain and ask all these questions lol.

I am thinking chocolate balls and chocolate hearts?

Cheers Brilly, one more question ..... if you glue the sweets (the foiled sweets) are they easy to pull off without pulling the whole tree over?

Was thinking about gluing to pins but wondered if my venue would get all Health & Safety on me!? lol!

Emma aslong as you hold on to the tree hun they should come off no problem just try to use a small amount of glue on them, if pinning them try pin at the edges of the wrappers so you dont have to pull the pins out you should just be able to tear the sweet from the pin if that makes sense xx

Mrs B wrapped sweets are ok hun but if they arnt sealed the air and moisture can be a factor hun, also if using plaster of paris in the base dont put sweets on top as plaster holds its moisture and sweets will go mouldy xx

These look brill - I'd thought about these for my candy table but was unsure about how to do it. Will def be visiting this thread again :) X

Thanks for sharing :) Fab idea and great way to save money!

Bumping for Yvonne.

OOOoooo.... I like that one. :)

I can't wait until I have a chance to make some of my own. I love how you keep coming up with so many great ideas and variations.

Loving these, will save to try, thanks. :)

We had a very full sweetie table and 4 trees on that table. although the guests dived into the jars and bowls - not one sweet was taken from the trees! They looked as perfect at the end of the night as when they started ! Perhaps worth an individual "eat me" sign stuck on the stick or something would've worked x

Susan it may have been for ease hun they might of been scared of breaking the tree :) x

Lauz they were added with a glue gun hun but you need alot of eggs lol x

Maybe hun lol they might not of wanted to spoil them but I bet if 1 person took something the rest would of probably followed suit :) xx

bumped the post for you hun, they were my first attempt but I was well chuffed with them and have even used some on the front of my jars :) xx

bump

Your welcome Kelly hun let us know how you get on :) x

sorry I havn't checked this for a while, will upload pics as soon as I can, they didn't turn out too bad x

They are cool Micky. :)

Thanks ladies the guests loved them :-)

I bought the labels of the bay and put them all on :-)

Hi all a question.

Has anyone completed a sweet tree with the foiled chocolate balls (ooo-er!) you can get using the 8cm polystyrene ball?

If so how many of those sweets did you get on the tree? I am trying to work out how many I would need to purchase.

Also, how far in advance would you buy chocolate for the sweet trees?

OK fair enough. I just don't want to order too many and have loads left over! I would end up eating them and not good before getting in a Wedding Dress lol.

Reckon I will order the chocolate a month before then. Thanks Brilly, I knew you could help :)

There's a good idea !! I may just try that :)

Bumped for MrsCross2be

Woooow brilly I love this!!! Where did you learn it all? They look amazing! I'm definitely going to have a go at making one of these some time soon!! X
