This is a very simple project and doesn't take very long.
I gathered my supplies: a styrofoam ball, peppermints, and my gluegun.
I taped the ball both for aesthetic reasons and practical - I didn't want the hot glue
melting through the styrofoam.
I then used the gluegun and glued the mints all around. I made sure to put enough for proper adhesion, but not too much, as it was easily oozing out on the sides. Make sure you press down on each mint for a couple of seconds before moving on.
Place it in a bowl, hang it with ribbon, or display it on a candle holder
as sort of a peppermint topiary, like I did.
I hope you are finding time to enjoy the Holiday Season!
Hugs,
