Like you, my day is often slammed with work, home and family, and finding the time for a little creative fun isn’t always easy. My goal is to share with you projects that are fresh, fun and make the most of your creative time. Many of the project ideas on Crafts ‘n Coffee come from a wonderful and talented group of designers whose projects we feature on www.styrofoamcrafts.com. I owe this creative team a big “thank you” for how they’ve enriched my life, and I hope yours, too.
I get to try a lot of the craft projects myself, from wall art and candy topiaries to pomanders and cupcakes with a cherry on top! I’ve had my successes – and my craft fails. While the failures aren’t as much fun, I learn a lot that I can share with you so you don’t have to make the same mistakes.
My family loved the candy topiaries I made.
Have you been crafting lately? Do you have any success stories (or failures?) you’d like to share? Do you have questions about STYROFOAM Brand Foam? If so, I’d love to hear from you. Drop me a line and let’s chat!
Thank you.
Sharon
Sharon,
I have enjoyed your crafts. I have been crafting for about 35 plus years from christmas ornaments to flowers to very large yard decorations for all holidys. I owned a store in California . I had a lot of fun making things and teaching kids and adults. I can see you have a great time at it. I now work from home and keep myself very busy. I have a little store in my big garage and still teach, oh yes and still play with the saws and sanders.
Keep up the good work.
Your crafting friend.

Hello
I was wondering if you could send me the link on how to make one of the projects I saw on here. It was a gerber daisy pink flower in a pot with green grass. It was wonderful! I am having a gerber daily theme for my wedding and would live to try and make them.
Hi Jackie, I think you’re remembering the Hipster Gerbera Daisy Cubes? Is this the correct design? These are so simple to make and will be beautiful at your wedding! Please let me know how they turn out! Sharon
I would love to know how you made the candy bar topiary? Love your blog! Thank you
Hi Victoria,
Thank you for visiting and for your comment. I’m uncertain which project is the candy bar topiary? Is it this one:
http://www.styrofoamcrafts.com/project/project.asp?relatedName=Quick%20Candy%20Topiary&relatedNumber=179-01879
We also have a Lollipop Topiary here: http://craftsncoffee.wordpress.com/2011/06/10/a-crafty-candy-topiary-tutorial-how-to-make-a-lollipop-tree/
If you’re looking for something else, please tell me a little more about the proejct and I’ll look for the instructions. Thanks, again. Sharon
Hi Victoria,
Now I see the Candy Topiary to which you are referring — I had not realized that you were on the “About Me” page. If you follow the link I provided to the Candy Bar Topiary on http://www.styrofoamcrafts.com, I think you’ll find it helpful. It’s quite easy — you just pin the candies onto the cone of STYROFOAM Brand Foam. After you make your topiary, please post a photo on the StyroCraft Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/StyrofoamCrafts?sk=app_112493455447504
Happy crafting! Sharon
Thank you so much! I have it bookmarked. I love your projects. Years back I made the kiss candy styrofoam Christmas Tree, it was a hit! I’d like to try these.
