Homemade Candy Jewelery for Kids

When I saw WEAR IT contest, I wanted to do someting for it but I have no idea what to make. Yesterday, when we went for shopping, my daugther was very cranky and was crying badly. So, my hubby dear bought her a unicorn lollipop to calm her. At that moment, the idea of making jewelery using homemade candy came to my mind. My little one loves candies (me too), especially anything in Rainbow colours. So I thought of implementing both these ideas in this project. The outcome of the project is extremely gorgeous and self satisfying. I just want to adore it and do not want to eat them actually. Hope you try this and am sure you would also have the same feeling.
