Baking Soda Clay Gift Wrap Embellishments

Have you ever made baking soda ornaments? They are so easy to make. Only TWO ingredients and you can make any shape ornament you want!

Organic Gift Wrap Elements

The baking soda stars I made look so pretty with foraged branches and boughs I brought in from outside! If you don’t want to use natural elements, you can use faux branches. If you can’t find branches to cut for this project, you can buy bags of round branch pieces at Dollar Tree!

Wood Slice Tree Embellishment

The wood slice tree is so easy to make. Just hot glue wood slices to your package. Add a baking soda star to the top wood slice and a bow!

Evergreen Tree Embellishment

To make the evergreen embellishment, take a few branches about the size of your package and glue them on the paper. Add a star to the top and a bow. Easy peasy!

Stars on Twine Embellishment

Make a little mini garland with baking soda stars and twine. Just hot glue them to the center of the twine and add some greenery to the ends.

Simple Star Embellishment

The clay star really stands out when you glue it to the center of a small bough. I love the simplicity of this one.

DIY HI-CHEW Holiday Gift Toppers

Gift Toppers are a festive finishing touch that makes a gift ever MORE special. HI-CHEW contacted me and asked me if I would like to make a project using their candy. We LOVE HI-CHEWS at our house and I thought making holiday HI-CHEW gift toppers would be colorful, cute and tasty!! These DIY treat toppers are SO easy to make. They would also be a fun craft for your kids to make as gifts. You can attach a little ribbon to the back and make them into ornaments for a sweet gift for them to give to their friends.

I created a couple of different versions using different-sized HI-CHEWS. One with the larger HI-CHEW package and another with the smaller, individually wrapped HI-CHEW candies from the large HI-CHEW package.

Here’s how you make HI-CHEW Holiday Gift Toppers:

Supplies:

HI-CHEW Candy

Pipe Cleaners I I used evergreen pipe cleaners and striped red and white pipe cleaners)

Glue Gun and Glue Sticks

Directions:

Bend the green pipe cleaners around so that the ends meet. Wrap the edges of the pipe cleaner together forming a circle.

Smaller Candy HI-CHEW Wreath

To make the wreath with the smaller candies, lay the candies on the wreath where you want them to be. Then hot glue them into position.

Once you have hot glued one layer of candies, add another on top of the first, filling in the wreath.

Larger Candy HI-CHEW Wreath

To make the wreath with the larger candies, make a pipe cleaner into a circle, the same as above.

Then add a dot of hot glue at each end of the larger HI-CHEW candy attach the wreath to the candy.

To make the bows (there are two sizes)

Smaller Bow:

Make a bow using the red and white pipe cleaner.

Larger Bow (requires 2 pipe cleaners)

Take the first red and white pipe cleaner. Bring the ends of both sides of the pipe cleaner and meet them in the middle, creating two loops.

Wrap the ends of the pipe cleaner under the bottom to keep the loops in place.

Take the other pipe cleaner. Fold it in half. Then wrap it around the middle of the looped pipe cleaner, creating the ends of the bow. You might have to trim the ends so they are the same length.

Once you have your HI-CHEW gift toppers made just add them to your holiday packages for a wonderful extra treat! Kids will love seeing the HI-CHEW toppers, knowing they can eat them!!

We love HI-CHEW candies during the holidays because one of our FAVORITE family traditions is playing games together. And of course we need our favorite treats for that. I love the texture of HI-CHEW candy. We all have different HI-CHEW flavors that we love most. Mine is green apple! I also keep a few HI-CHEW candies in my purse for a pick-me-up as I am rushing around during the holidays!

You can find HI-CHEW at Walmart, Target and Amazon.

Which HI-CHEW flavor is YOUR favorite? 

Have a Delightful Day!
