You can create a simple, eye-catching bouquet with a few basics and some creativity.

1. Plan a theme: Pick colors or an occasion to guide your candy choices.
2. Gather supplies: Individually wrapped candies, food-safe sticks/skewers, tape/dots, a container, floral foam, tissue, and ribbon or cellophane.
3. Build the base: Fit floral foam snugly in your container and cover the top with tissue.
4. Attach candy: Tape candies to sticks, keeping wrappers intact.
5. Arrange by height: Place taller pieces in back, shorter in front for balance.
6. Fill gaps: Tuck mini pieces or tissue to hide foam.
7. Finish: Add a bow or wrap in cellophane for gifting.

Keep it cool and avoid sharp stick ends being exposed.

Both approaches can work, depending on your time, tools, and how many you need.

• DIY can save: If you already have craft supplies and purchase candy in multipacks, making several bouquets may be more cost-efficient. You also control size and candy types.
• Buying is convenient: The price typically reflects curation, assembly, and packaging. It’s helpful when you’re short on time or want a polished look.
• What to compare: Check product details for dimensions and approximate candy counts, then estimate your supply costs and time for a fair comparison.

Results vary by design complexity and quantity. If you’re making one gift and need it fast, purchasing may be simpler; for multiple gifts, DIY can be more flexible.

Choose candies that hold their shape and are easy to secure.

• Individually wrapped: Keeps things tidy and makes taping to sticks easier.
• Sturdy pieces: Bars and boxed items add structure and height.
• Lightweight fillers: Mini packs or small bites help fill gaps without adding weight.
• Lollipops: Built-in sticks add height and create a floral look.
• Visual variety: Mix sizes and shapes for balance and an eye-catching display.
• Color/theme: Pick colors that match the occasion for a coordinated look.
• Label checks: Review packaging for ingredients to align with recipient preferences.

Test a few arrangements before securing everything to find a layout you like.

You can shop a variety of candy bouquets on Walmart.com.

• Online: Visit the candy bouquet category to browse by occasion, style, or candy type. Use filters to narrow options.
• Pickup or delivery: Enter your ZIP code at checkout to see availability for pickup, delivery, or shipping in your area.
• In-store: Selection varies by location, so checking online inventory before heading to the store can help.

If it’s a gift, consider the recipient’s address and lead time when choosing a fulfillment option. Availability may vary by region and season.

Proper storage helps the bouquet look good until gifting.

• Keep it cool and dry: Store away from heat, humidity, and direct sunlight.
• Protect the arrangement: Stand it upright to maintain shape, and cover loosely with cellophane or a clean bag to limit dust.
• Avoid temperature swings: Don’t leave it in a hot car; fluctuations can affect texture and appearance.
• Check packaging: Look at individual best-by dates and enjoy items accordingly.
• Transport carefully: Support the base in a box with cushioning to prevent tipping.

Storage needs can vary by candy type, so a quick label check is a good idea.
