American Girl Candy Shop
American Girl Candy Shop
I am so excited to finally share our American Girl Candy Shop with you! My daughter and I have been working on it a little bit every day and we still have ideas on things we want to add. I think this project could be never ending! We used some real candy and also made some of our own craft candy.
This tutorial is only to show you how to make the pink American Girl Candy Shop stand that is pictured. Everything else has either already been posted, or is explained in the You Tube video I shared. Please leave your comments with your ideas! We love to hear and see what you make! If you want to post pictures of your candy shop, post it to our Brag Page!
