Materials used to make this unique gift: candy, Styrofoam, decorative elements (a bow, etc.), yellow/gold tissue paper or metalized cello, and tools (scissors, knife, a hot glue gun).

Step 1. Make a paper pattern of a guitar. If you want to make a real-size guitar and have a real guitar at home, just trace the guitar on paper. In this case, you will need a lot of candy. You can make a mini guitar (about 20 inches long) that requires less candy but still looks amazing.

Step 2. Cut a guitar out of Styrofoam sheet, using the paper pattern. You can cut the body and the neck of the guitar separately, and then secure them together with hot glue.

Step 3. Wrap the Styrofoam guitar with yellow/gold tissue paper or gold metalized cello, securing it with craft glue or pieces of Scotch tape. By doing this, you disguise the Styrofoam even if you have gaps between candies.

Step 4. Glue a brown circle in the center of the guitar body where a sound hole in a real guitar is.

Step 5. Glue candy to the guitar’s neck using hot glue (a low-temperature glue gun). Use candy pieces or candy bars with dark brown wrappers. Two examples are, HERSHEY'S Miniatures chocolate bars or fun size MilkyWay candy bars.

Use different candy pieces for the guitar’s headstock and machine heads (tuners). As a decorative element you can even attach a bow to the guitar’s neck.

Note: If you know favorite candy of a recipient, use it when possible.

Step 6. Glue candy to the guitar’s body. Use candy pieces with gold or yellow wrappers. Use candy with different wrappers for a guitar’s bridge (so they won’t merge with the candy on the guitar’s body).

Step 7. For guitar string use some thick decorative thread.

Step 8. Glue candy to the guitar body sides.

Your beautiful sweet guitar is ready. Dad will be blown away with this unique, personalized gift.

Variation of the Candy Guitar

Candy Guitar by our subscriber Connie Gallegos-Hudak

Ferrero Rocher candy pieces are used for the guitar’s body. The arm is two different combinations, the acoustic guitar is made of taped (wrappers edges are not showing) Baby Ruth and chocolate treasures (double layers). The electric guitar is made of dark chocolate full sized bars and Taped kit kats. Liquors are used for the rivet things. Strings have been the Rocher packaging wrappers from the boxes to shinny ribbon or yarn.
