Every year I end up making a few DIY Christmas ornaments for one reason or another. This year is no different, but these ornaments are just good enough to eat…literally! I’m sure everyone has a few people on their list that you aren’t sure what to buy and you don’t need to get anything expensive and you just need some gift giving ideas. Just a simple, small gesture will do. Well, after discovering GODIVA’s new gift boxes at Walmart, I decided to turn them into something that is pretty enough to hang on a tree but yummy enough to eat! I made some ornaments using copper leaf and filled them with a few amazing chocolates. After the chocolates are eaten, you are still left with a beautiful ornament. Win-Win!!
Here’s what you will need:
- GODIVA 9 piece gift box (I chose the assorted chocolate caramels)
- Copper Leaf
- Adhesive (I used Mod Podge)
- Clear plastic ornament (the kind that is in 2 pieces and snaps together)
First you are going to apply the adhesive to the top part of your ornament. It doesn’t have to be perfect, that’s the beauty of copper leaf. It’s best when imperfect!
Once it’s slightly dry but still tacky, adhere the copper leaf gently. Let this dry for a few hours.
After it is dry, brush off all of the excess copper leaf.
Next, open up the ornament and slip in 2-3 GODIVA chocolates.
Add string to the tops and you are finished! These would look beautiful tied onto a gift as an extra little bonus.
The chocolates look so cute hiding inside, but I’m sure they won’t last long! The DIY Christmas ornaments can be filled with something else after the chocolates are gone or just left as is!
