Author: Hezzi-D

Ingredients

  • 1 box
  • green construction paper
  • 6 sheets craft foam
  • 12 popsicle sticks
  • glue gun
  • Sharp Knife or scissors
  • 1 35- stick pack Extra® Gum Spearmint

Instructions

  • Using the glue gun, attach the green construction paper to the top and side of your box. Allow the box to sit for 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cut each craft foam sheet in half. Fold each piece in half and cut out a flower shape, leaving enough room in the center for a piece of gum. Repeat with all 12 pieces of craft foam.
  • Using the glue gun, carefully put glue on just the edges of the flowers and press to seal. The tops of the flowers should still be open and the bottom part should have been folded and attached by the foam.
  • Use the glue gun and attach a popsicle stick to the back of each flower. Allow the glue to dry for 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make 12 cuts in the top of the green covered box. Make them just long enough to fit a popsicle still in the cut.
  • Place a stick of Extra® Gum Spearmint in each flower and place in the cuts in the box to create the garden.
  • Write "Gum Garden" on the front and place it where all of your friends can enjoy a stick of gum!
