After posting my candy bouquet tutorial, I was hired to create a candy arrangement for a man's birthday gift. It doesn't seem right to call it a bouquet (I don't think a man will appreciate receiving a bouquet) so I'm calling it an arrangement. ;)
This one would be a great Father's day gift (if the receiver LOVES candy.) It would also make for a great graduation gift or Fourth of July party piece.
When creating these bouquets (for the lady) or arrangements (for the man), they can be in any container you choose. That's the beauty of making your own.
I found this 'Coleman" 1 gallon jug on sale for about five or six bucks at Walmart and thought "how perfect, with summer just ahead."

Here is the candy arrangement for a man:
Most of the candy came from the Dollar Tree.
I cut out stars with my Cricut and used pop-up stickers to create the three-dimensional ones.
Some of the stars are 3-D, others aren't. I just hot-glued the wooden dowels to the back of the stars.
:)
I made a quick little happy birthday tag.
and hung the tag and the lid off the side of the jug with hemp.
There you have it: A candy bouquet gift idea for the candy lover MAN in your life.
