In an earlier post, I discussed using a balloon filled with sand to serve as a form to wrap Paperclay around. I wasn't sure how it would all turn out...but I can happily report that the technique worked! Once the clay dried, I simply snipped the balloon with a pair of sissors and poured the sand out...viola!...instant candy container! Although this paticular container is a little small (about 3.5") it can still hold a small amount of wrapped candy. This fellow is offered for sale at my ETSY shop Now that I know the technique will work, I'm off to make some even bigger ones!
