How to Make DIY Gummy Bear Candy Box | Step-by-Step Tutorial

Gummy bears are a classic candy enjoyed by people of all ages. While they're delicious on their own, fancying them up into a cute candy box makes them even more fun. TikTok creator Fancy Nancy shares her easy tutorial for making a colorful gummy bear candy box that anyone can recreate.

Supplies Needed

• Gummy bears (use regular or sour varieties)
• Large clear container or box to hold the gummies

Fancy Nancy used a clear plastic storage container but any clear container with a lid works well. Glass jars, plastic cups, or small clear treat boxes would also make cute DIY candy boxes.

Assembly Instructions

1. Pour gummy bears into your container and start arranging them however you like.
2. Fancy Nancy simply dumped the gummies in without much organization for a more random, pile-like look inside the box.
3. You can also carefully arrange the gummies by color or shape if you prefer a more organized display.
4. Once you have all the gummies inside, add the lid and your candy box is complete!

Fancy Nancy experimented with mixing regular and sour gummy bears but left the choice up to viewers. You can keep flavors separate or combine them as you like. The clear container also lets you see all the vibrant gummy bear colors on display.

Tips from Fancy Nancy

Some tips Fancy Nancy shared from her DIY candy box experience include:

• Pick container based on how many gummies you want to hold.
• Experiment with arranging by color or mixing it up for different looks.
• Have fun with it and don't worry too much about precision - it's meant to be an easy, enjoyable craft.

FAQs

Can I use different types of candy?

Yes, you can certainly mix up the candies inside. Try combinations of gummy bears, worms, fruit snacks, or other small candies that will fit in your container.

How long will the candy last?

Since the candy box is not tightly sealed, perishables like gummy candy may only last 1-2 weeks before going soft. For longer storage, opt for hard candies instead of gummies.

Can I decorate the outside of the box?

Absolutely! Get creative by adding stickers, washi tape designs, or writing messages on the outside of the container with markers.

Is this gift safe?

Check that any lid or closure on your container is secure enough that very young children cannot open it. Otherwise, these DIY candy boxes make fun gifts for tweens, teens, and adults.
