Christening

I am giving candy bar favors for my son`s Chistening. I am looking for a way to display these favors at each table as the centerpiece. I was thinking attachingt hem to a cross, but don`t know where to find a cross or how to attach the bars to them. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Hi Jillian:
I wouldn`t do that. It`s taking a religious symbol (cross) and making it into something it`s not.

Instead, why not get a clear glass bowl (you can find them at discount stores and craft stores)....or, if you have more money, a cut glass bowl, and fill it with some clear glass "decorative" gems or marbles (also sold at discount stores, dollar stores and craft stores) and then place the candy bars on top.

If you wanted to make it a little more colorful, you can get blue (for a boy) decorative gems or marbles instead of the clear ones. Another idea would be to fill it with some shredded tissue paper. Good luck!
