Make Something - Featuring CandiWare!


The Toronto Etsy Street Team is stacked full of so many talented people.

I'm hoping to feature some awesome DIY ideas from amidst our team members each month so if you have a DIY idea in mind please get in touch!

This month I have something wonderful from Candice Ware, the ever-talented wonderful creator of CandiWare. If you're not familiar with her amazing handmade scented miniature food jewelry you really need to check it out. Here are some shots of her adorable fimo creations...







If you'd love to see more (of course you would!) just click over here for her Etsy store.

AND did you know she has a Youtube channel?! Yes she does. It is completely awesome.

I thought I'd share a link for her fun Valentine's bath bomb tutorial, just in case you are still looking for ideas...




Head over to her YouTube channel here to see so many cool videos and learn how to make adorable food jewelry yourself. Heck, why not purchase one of her cool new kits so you're ready to get started!



Shop local. Support your Team. And have a lovely Valentine's/Palentine's/Galentine's Day!
