Is It Christmas Yet?

No, of course not. Not even close, but the other day a Facebook friend posted a video of Christmas ornaments made from peppermint candy. You know, this kind.

Apparently this is a thing (I didn't know), because there are a number of videos online telling you how to make things by melting peppermint candy together and then letting the creation harden.

Here are the ornaments:

The video below is a bit long, but most of it doesn't have much to do with the actual project, so...feel free to fast forward. In the end, she creates a rather cute bowl made out of peppermints, so it's worth watching (if you're interested in making a peppermint bowl, that is).

How about a plate? This very short video shows you how.

Okay, I think I've had about all the peppermint ideas I can take for one day (I skipped the shot glasses), but I'm sure I'll come back to this idea when it gets a bit closer to the holidays. It seems to be a quick and inexpensive way to create ornaments...or bowls...or plates for the season.

Enjoy!
