I absolutely love jewellery based on sweets, so when i saw a tutorial on how to turn gummy bears into beads i just had to try it out with my favourite sweets Dolly Mixtures!!!
Quite simple to make if you can resist the urge to eat them as you go!!!!! I created a hole through the centre of the sweets using a toothpick then used a pin, so i had something to hold onto, and dunked each sweet into clear varnish, let the excess varnish drip of and then use the pin to stand them up in a piece of polystyrene!!!! After 24hrs (depending on the varnish used) they were ready!!! Unfortunately i did think and bought Ronseal varnish and even though its clear it left a slight stain but it still looks good!!!! Also where they smell of varnish you don't have the urge to eat them!!!
