I made a super cute little craft for my grandkids and nieces and I thought I’d share with y’all because it was so easy!
You will need:
Several boxes of Runts candy – Depending on how many you are making will determine the number of boxes that need to be purchased. I bought 7 and it was enough to harvest enough to do 9 projects with 15 pieces of candy in each. Now if someone tells me there’s a way to just buy the banana part that would be genius.
Monkey stickers – the inspiration for this project came from this “I’m bananas for you” that I have on my Pinterest board – Cute and fun ideas to make. If you take a peek you will see that my version will save you some time and possibly some sanity.
See through pouches or sandwich bags – I opted for the little bags that you can find at most craft stores. If I hadn’t had these on hand then I was going to use a sandwich bag and just tie it up an attach the card to that.
White cardstock – I had these that are a fun shape but square cards would work just as well.
Ribbon – I bought a color that I thought would coordinate with my monkey stickers.
Hole punch – to punch out the holes to put the ribbon through
I laid out how I thought I would place the monkey sticker on the card
I then wrote on the cards and determined where I wanted to place my holes for the ribbon. I punched out the holes and placed it on the banana filled bag and marked where the holes were so I could punch them out.
For some reason when I put on the monkey stickers I placed them all the way in the corner and that resulted in some “empty” space that I’m not totally happy with.
And here’s how it all turned out! I hope the grandkids and nieces like it!
