Candy Race Car

Make ornaments or decorations using an assortment of candies - a train, a race car, a plane, or a reindeer. These can be hung on trees, tied to packages, or used as decorations on a table.

Young children will need supervision with the low temp hot glue gun, but it works a lot better than craft glue.

Parental supervision is recommended.

This project is rated EASY to do.

What You Need


* Low temp hot glue gun
* Ribbons or yarn for hanging
* 1 large package of gum (1 1/4" x 3" x 3/4")
* 4 round wrapped candies (I used peppermints)
* 1 shiny wrapped candy about 1 1/4" long
* 2 mini chocolate bars (1 1/2" x 1" x 3/8") I got mine from Hershey's in a big bag



How To Make It


1. Glue the shiny candy to the front of the gum pack as a bumper. Wrap the extra wrapping around the edges of the pack.
2. Glue the 4 round candies on as wheels.
3. Glue the 1 candy bar on the back half of the car, allowing it to stick off the back by a 1/4 of an inch or so.
4. Glue the other candybar across the back of that candybar, having at least 1/2 of it extending past the edge of the lower candybar. Look at the illustration and experiment.



Tips

About finding the candies: Think shapes. Go to your local store and look for rectangles, circles, shiny wrappings, etc. I found small packages of gum in a large multi-pack of gum. You can also remove the gum sticks from the package and glue them together to create a 'small pack' sized set of gum.

I used wrapped peppermints and folded the extra cellophane around to the back and glued it down before gluing the candy to the project. And don't be afraid to combine several candies (like the small squares of Starburst candies) to make larger shapes. This is an exercise in creativity.

I've never seen this before. I've seen the train, airplane and such, but never the race car. Thanks.

Cute!
