Cory's Birthday

I made this for Cory's birthday.  His birthday is January 1st.  He is a New Year's baby.

I didn't know what to get for him.  He wants a HAM radio, which we can't afford right now.  I promised him we will get one for him as soon as we can.  He passed his Technician license test as well as his General license test.  We are very proud of him! 

I saw an idea similar to this on Pinterest.  I bought the candy bars and found everything else around the house.  I had some wooden skewers from a long time ago.  I taped the candy bars to the skewers and stuck them in a floral block inside the vase. I had the floral block left over from a project a few years ago.  The vase is also from several years ago.  When I was done, it didn't look like the picture from Pinterest.  Then I realized I forgot to buy some confetti.  

We have a paper shredder and I have lots of scrapbook paper that I'm not using very much any more, because I do my scrapbooking digitally now.  I emptied my shredder and shredded about 6 different colored papers and used that as confetti for the vase.  Voila! Quick, easy, inexpensive birthday gift for my hubby! Until I can afford to get him that HAM radio.
