Additional tips for this Dollar Tree candy bouquet:
- I tried this idea with clear cellophane wrap and it didn’t quite work the same with the blow dryer. Be sure to buy actual shrink wrap if trying this method of shrinking the wrap with heat.
- Another idea would be to use tape or hot glue to attach the candy and then wrap it with cellophane for a similar look.
